Tartan Weaving

Tartan weaving is a traditional textile technique originating from Scotland, characterized by the creation of patterned cloth with crisscrossed horizontal and vertical bands of color. These patterns, known as tartans, are formed by weaving colored threads in specific sequences, resulting in distinctive, repetitive designs. Each pattern often represents Scottish clans or regions, making tartans culturally significant. The weaving process involves interlacing warp (vertical) and weft (horizontal) threads on a loom, carefully selecting colors to produce the desired pattern. This method creates durable, visually striking fabrics that have become symbolic of heritage and identity.
