Scope note
Textiles woven in different colored yarns to produce a multicolored crossed-linear pattern, often of woolen or worsted twill. Although the type of textile pattern existed in many early cultures, among the best known are the Scottish tartans, for which distinctive designs and colors signified a Highland clan and were worn only by members of that clan.
