The first example of tartan is the Falkirk tartan which dates back from the 3rd century. This tartan had not been woven using different coloured wool, the stripes in the material were created by the use of different types of wool. This type of tartan was used in the highlands and lowlands for 100's of years. These so called 'shepherd' tartans were not linked to a particular name or palace. That came later with the clan tartans.

While there were professional weavers most of the tartan produced in the 1700's was produced by the woman of the household who used small hand looms - these [url=http://www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm]barbour uk outlet[/url] restricted the size of the material that could be woven and they often needed to sew together a number of pieces of tartan to create a standard sized plaid.

Before [url=http://www.getconversational.com]hollister pas cher[/url] the wool was woven it needed to be 'waulked' carded and spun into yarn.

Waulking the cloth meant cleaning it of any dirt and oil and making it more hard wearing by treating it; the cloth was soaked in warm water and urine (for the ammonia) then laid out to dry out before kneading it on a board, sometimes a door was taken off its hinges if no other surface was available. On the Island of St Kilda women would work together to move the cloth with their hands and their feet while singing a traditional 'waulking' song to help keep them in time.

Most dyes were made locally from vegetable sources: most commonly from bark, roots, heather, as well as berries which could produce a dye that didn't fade. These ancient colours are often imitated by modern producers of tartan as they are more subtle than synthetic dyes. ' Every good farmers wife was competent to dye blue, red, green, yellow, [url=http://www.msc-sahc.org/moncler.asp]moncler pas cher[/url] black, brown' notes James Logan writing in the 19th century. As dyes were produced locally they colours of a final tartan could differ while all being an acceptance version. There was a great deal of pride attached to the production of tartan and the different patterns created.

How is tartan woven? [url=http://www.mansmanifesto.com]www.mansmanifesto.com[/url]

The warp - the lengthways thread of the tartan is set on the loom first , then the weft (crosswise threads) are woven into it. The checked pattern is created by weaving the two bands of colour at right angles. Selvedge is the narrow border at the edge of the tartan; it is woven in a different way in order to stop the [url=http://www.sandvikfw.net/shopuk.php]hollister sale[/url] material from unravelling.

Before the Battle [url=http://www.msc-sahc.org/moncler.asp]moncler doudoune[/url] of Culloden in 1746 most tartans were woven by independent weavers at home. With [url=http://www.orlando-apts.com/nfljerseys/]nfl jerseys[/url] the advent of regimental tartans traditional sources could no longer satisfy demand and specialist firms emerged to deal with these new customers. One of the most famous [url=http://www.achbanker.com/home.php]hollister france[/url] was Wilson's of Bannockburn.

Due to the proscription of tartan the art of weaving in homes, was to some extent lost. Lamented the loss of old cloth-making skills "Deprived of the pleasure of seeing their husbands, sons and favourites, in that elegant drapery, emulation died, and they became contented with [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/peuterey.php]peuterey outlet[/url] manufacturing the wool in the coarsest and clumsiest manner�" patterns from the 17th century as well as dying methods had mainly been forgotten. For a time regimental kilts were synonymous with very cheap garments. Those in command of the troops were looking to cut costs and soldiers were often palmed off with kilts made from of a very poor quality tartan and made from less material than a standard kilt. As a result English caricaturists of the time depicted Scottish troops as wearing ridiculously short kilts. This practice ended with the intervention of Queen Victoria, who ordered that 'soft instead of hard tartan be used' [url=http://www.seattlesoycandles.com]hollister[/url] for all regimental tartans.
