Happy tartan day!
After completing two kilt commissions, I'm now back to setting up my loom to weave the Snowdrop Tartan. This time around, it's going to be made into a new product for a customer. 15% of each sale of the Snowdrop Tartan is donated to Strathcarron Hospice.

My first kilt was completed a couple of weeks ago. I absolutely loved learning the process on a small scale. This kilt was pleated to the stripe. I've now moved on to a full-size adult's kilt, which is pleated to the sett. Something new to learn in every kilt.
