Homespun Tartan Swatches
Why order a fabric swatch? Because an image is a poor substitute for an actual piece of fabric. If you would like to know exactly what a tartan look like before placing an order, please request a swatch. Also, when you have more than one tartan to choose from, requesting swatches is a great way to decide which tartan you like best before investing in your kilt. Each swatch is approximately 6-8 inches square. We keep 50+ Homespun tartans in stock, so generally shipping is very fast. And the price includes shipping!

What is Homespun Tartan?
We especially recommend our homespun tartan for Ancient Kilts, Great Kilts, Phillabegs, and other clothing for reenactment purposes. Our Homespun tartan is made from a 55/45 blend of polyester & wool, woven by hand on old-world looms. It looks very authentic to what would have been woven historically. The yarn is worsted, but not spun as tightly as modern machine-made tartan. The cloth is also not as tightly woven. Homespun tartan will pleat by hand easily, but will not develop a sharp edge. Small snags, pulls, holes and other assorted blemishes are common. Because it is hand woven, these flaws are a natural part of it’s character.

The swatch was definately a deciding factor in ordering my kilt. The image on the computer did not sell me for the tartan I wanted, but by ordering the swatch I was well pleased with the quality and the color of the material that I am now ready to order my kilt and wear it with pride.
