If your family doesn’t have a tartan of its own, have no fear; you can weave the Dunlap Tartan Stole based on Nancy Dunlap’s interpretation of her husband’s family’s tartan. She worked out the details for you, so you can use the colors she used or colors of your own choosing in the 4-shaft draft.—Susan
