Friends, I just found my next weaving project! 🙌🖤 Did you know? On Feb 11, 2025, Scotland certified the 'Witches of Scotland' tartan — designed by Claire Campbell, as a tribute to Scotland's dark, historic witch trials. So fascinating! More details, here: www.tartanregister.gov.uk/tartanDetail...

Before you ask, yes, there's an official witch tartan. Though it's actually the "Rememberance Tartan" in honor of all those persecuted as witches in Scotland. I, personally, have a few ancestors who were hanged for having been accused of witchcraft. But I'm also that dork into witches and Scotland.
The official Rememberance Tartan. It is a striped pattern of red, gray, and white set on a black field.

My Witch Tartan scarf arrived! It's so pretty, and much softer than I expected it to be 🖤. An officially registered tartan that commemorates women burned as witches. This was a Kickstarter project, and I believe this fabric will be available to purchase by the meter some time in the future. 🧶🧵🔥
A tartan scarf is neatly folded on to of brown parchment paper. The fabric is a field of black with a pattern of white, red, and pink woven stripes.

I read a couple of chapters for the first time in a VERY long time today. My attention cooperated. I cannot recommend “How to Kill a Witch” enough so far. Content is timely, and interesting, and a cool detail is the Witches of Scotland tartan is the cover of the book itself. 😍
Cover of the book, “How to Kill a Witch” by Zoe Venditozzi & Claire Mitchell. A passage from How to Kill a Witch that reads, “The truth about the Scottish witch trials is bloody and horrific. We hope that the resulting book is one that underlines the incredible lengths that people—mostly men—have gone to in order to silence women. 
How to Kill a Witch also goes beyond what we learned about historical witchcraft trials here and abroad and extrapolates to what we see as the modern-day relevance: when the going gets tough in any society, it is the most vulnerable who are accused of causing damage.”The black, gray, red and white “Witches of Scotland” tartan is the cover of the book itself.

My favourite book that came out this year is “How to Kill a Witch” by Zoe Venditozzi and Claire Mitchell. Scotland needs to learn from our history of misogyny and scapegoating. Witch killings also still happen around the world today.
Front cover of how to kill a witch (with a bookmark and quarrelsome fame necklace)The hard copy book is ‘witches of Scotland tartan’ under the dust cover. A mostly black tartan with prominent red and some pink and grey

Please report this company who have stolen @witches.of.scotland tartan to Trust Pilot. The ONLY place you can buy Witches of Scotland tartan is from @witches.of.scotland and it’s made on looms in the highlands. 🇺🇸 men stealing from women grifting out of tartan to memorialise murdered women 🔗👇🏻
My wee cat inspecting the real tartan. Tartan is mostly black with red, grey pink and a little grayThe stolen knocks offs from Kilt and MoreMy review on trust pilot. Link below. Review reads ‘Do Not Buy!
This company is producing 'Witches of Scotland' tartan without permission. The ONLY place this tartan can be purchased is from the Witches of Scotland website and it is made on traditional looms in the Scottish highlands. Kilt and More are making poor quality knock offs and appropriating a memorial tartan for the women who were murdered during the Scottish witch hunts. Shame on them.’
