Originally owned by J Telfar Dunbar and bought by the Scottish Tartans Society in 1966. This was a blanket spun, dyed and woven by a Christina Young and the date (1726) was stitched into the edge of the blanket with her initials (CY). This tartan forms the basis of the modern (1992) Young tartan. Originally preserved at the Scottish Tartans Society Museum, the Christina Young arisaid is one of the oldest and most completely preserved specimens of homespun hand-looming.
Before 1860, fabrics were colored using animal and vegetable dyes. This produced softer, more earthy colors typical of Weathered plaids, reminiscent of bolder colors subjected to elements, producing faded, or muted tones.
This tartan is based on the motif of Christina Young's arisaidh plaid of 1726 superimposed on blue. Designed by Derek Young, Benderloch, Oban, 1992. The blue and green background colours are normally woven at twice the width shown here for a kilt tartan. The design retains the unusual purple - yellow - orange box check of the original blanket, and changes only the ground color to the traditional West Coast greens and blues.
