Tartan Fabric
Tartan is a pattern, woven with colored threads, crossing at right angles. Tartan
fabrics are usually made of wool. it is a great choice for stylish suits, dresses and
skirts.

The pattern is traditional for scotland. however, it has grown firmly into fashion and
is quite popular nowadays.

Shadows of color in can be changed to obtain variations of the Same tartan. The idea
that the different colors used in tartan have a specific meaning is purely modern. One
of these myths is that the red tartans were "battle tartans".
History
The oldest piece of tartan was found near the Scottish city ofFalkirk. This fabric, about
1700 years old, is very different from the modern multicolored tartans: it is made of
unpainted sheep's wool - light and dark.

As a rule, it is claimed that today one of the most popular tartans is the royal tartan
Stewart. This is the personal tartan of Queen Elizabeth II.
Difference between Tartan and Plaid
The tartan pattern consists of horizontal and vertical stripes of different colors, crossing at a 90-degree angle. The
main thing is that vertical and horizontal stripes are the same in both directions in color, width, size.

The word “plaid” means tartan in the American market. In the UK, plaid (‘blanket’ in Gaelic) is a part of Highland
dress "great kilt," worn over the left shoulder and around the waist. The main difference between tartan and plaid
patterns is that vertical stripes do not perfectly match horizontal stripes; they differ in color or size.
