YOUNG (MODERN) - Tartans beginning with 'R' MacNeil tartans appear in patternThis sett is based on an arisaid (blanket) that was spun dyed and woven by Christina Young in 1726. This is one of the oldest and most completely preserved specimens of homespun handlooming. The pattern retains the unusual purple yellow orange box check of the original blanket and changes only the ground colour to the traditional West Coast greens and blues.
