glen plaid


Explanation:
ne pas traduire

PLAID: Tissu écossaise reproduisant les couleurs d'un " clan " particulier :
Cameron, Campbell, MacPhee, Macdonald, etc. Le Glen Plaid comporte
un effet de couleur 4/4 et 2/2, dans le sens de la chaîne comme dans le
sens de la trame. Le shepherd's plaid, ou shepherd's check, ressemble
au pied-de-poule; chaque case du damier comporte environ un quart de
pouce de blanc et un quart de pouce de noir. Il est à la base de tous les
plaids des clans écossaise. Voir aussi tartan.
