Strome 16oz Tartan Fabric, sold by the metre.
Shepherd Check Heavyweight Tartan is a classic black and white check.
Originally, no dye would be required to make this check. The wool used would be from sheep, making the white a more natural shade and black varrying from a brown to darker grey. Most old weavers preferred the natural black, as opposed to that produced by the dyers. The traditional black dyes of the Highlands were made from alder-bark, dock-root and the root of the water-flag.
