- Notes:
-
Despite there being no known tradition of tartan in Wales, this is one of a growing series of commercial Welsh ‘name’ tartans marketed by the Wales Tartan Centre in Cardiff. Their inclusion in this Index does not confer upon them ANY historical or genealogical credibility and the use of the words ‘of Wales’ is not of conventional territorial significance but is purely to identify the source and thus avoid confusion with surnames which have a genuine tartan connection.. Designed for The Wales Tartan Centre in Cardiff by Sheila Daniel of Cambrian Woollen Mill, Powys, they’re unusual in that almost all of them incorporate odd numbered threads and have quite different warp & weft, both in thread numbers and sometimes colours. This places the classification of some of them as tartans in some doubt. Welsh Tartan Centre 01792 301144
