Tableware

Sizes vary across the range and are listed on each product page. Measure your table before ordering a runner, since a runner should stop short of the table ends rather than overhanging, usually by about six inches at each end.

Some products are sold individually and some in sets, which is stated on each page. If you are building a table across several orders, buy the full quantity of any one item in a single order so all pieces come from the same weaving run.

Treat quickly with cold water rather than hot, since heat sets protein and wine stains permanently. Then wash warm with ordinary detergent. Avoid bleach entirely, which strips colour from the weave and cannot be reversed.

Yes, across over 5000 clan, district and fashion setts. Set it at checkout. If your surname is not listed, try spelling variants first, then send us the name so we can check whether it is a sept of a larger clan.

Not on their own. Woven cloth insulates against warmth but not against a hot dish straight from an oven, so use a trivet underneath for anything genuinely hot. Placemats handle plates, glasses and everyday use. Build outward from a runner with tartan for the dining table.

Better not to. Two tartans on one surface compete in the same way two do in an outfit, and the effect is far stronger on a table where everything is seen at once. One sett, varied by item, works best. For the kitchen rather than the table, see tartan aprons.
