Cochrane Modern Tartan Fabric by the Yard | Medium Weight Acrylic

Craft with virtue and labour using Cochrane Modern Tartan Fabric by the Yard—a medium weight acrylic tartan featuring the bold scarlet red, forest green, and navy blue of Clan Cochrane. This versatile fabric embodies the clan motto "Virtute et Labore" (By Virtue and Labour) while offering modern durability and easy care for all your Highland crafting projects.

Clan Cochrane: By Virtue and Labour

With ancient roots in the Scottish Lowlands, particularly around Paisley and Renfrewshire, Clan Cochrane has long been associated with industriousness and integrity. The Modern tartan displays their distinctive pattern in bold, saturated colors—brilliant scarlet red representing courage, deep forest green echoing the Lowland landscape, and navy blue signifying loyalty and steadfastness.

The Modern Colorway: Bold Lowland Heritage

The Cochrane Modern sett presents a striking pattern of scarlet red crossed by forest green and navy blue bands with crisp white accents. The Modern palette delivers these colors in vivid, contemporary tones—creating high-contrast visual impact suitable for formal Highland wear, fashion pieces, and statement accessories that honor this historic Lowland family.

Medium Weight: Versatile Crafting

This medium weight acrylic (approximately 13 oz) offers excellent workability for both novice and experienced makers. Lighter than traditional 16 oz wool but structured enough for defined pleating, this fabric is ideal for fashion garments, children's kilts, accessories, and projects where ease of sewing and comfortable wear are priorities.
