    What do I see ? On a serious note , I'm not sure yet , but will study it . On a humorous note , perhaps an ancient universal " No Tartan " sign used by the English . ( Sorry couldn't resist )

    They're not curtains...


    That's a really small set, if what I think the size of the brooch is normally...

    The weaving pattern appears to alternate between plain weave and 2/2 twill.

    I'm probably wrong but it bears some resemblence to a county Kerry weave?

    Looking at the widest yellow stripe to the far right, where it crosses the solid green, the yellow does look different from one "green block" to the next. Definite twill pattern in the yellow alternating with a "polka dot" effect that I assume is what Knockagarran is IDing as "plain weave."

    Also, to me, the fringe at the bottom looks much more dense than the fringe at the top or on either side. Could this be a fringed selvedge?
