Tartan Creation

[Ian.MacAllan]

Check this out; it is very cool - the interactive tartan weaver. You can design your own tartan and have it woven:

This site unfortunately does not admit that its program is limited to setts of 15 stripes max. Of course, that limit is sufficient for a great many tartans but not e. g., Farquarson, which runs to 25 stripes. I have found three other tartan designers worth considering, but I admit I have not tested how many stripes each of them can accommodate:

It's going to cost you around $1000 just to have the tartan designed and registered. Then there is the cost of the kilt, kilted skirts, plaids, etc, for something that most likely you would wear only a few times a year. If I were you I wold look for something already in existence, unless you have (1) quite a few people who are interested in sharing the expenses with you or (2) more money than you know what to do with.

It is expensive, but a big part of that cost is weaving the cloth. It's certainly not for everyone, but there is a certain pride in being able to say "This is MY personal tartan."
