York Scarves Tartan Scarf

Tartan is a design in which fabrics are woven with groups of different coloured threads running across the weft and through the warp to create a checked, or plaid pattern. These colour designs have been around for many centuries and are closely associated with Scotland, and to a lesser extent Ireland, Wales and several other countries. In North America these Tartan scarves would be called Plaid Scarves, whereas a Plaid in Scotland is a piece of Tartan fabric slung over the shoulder as an accessory.
