- 01/01/2002 — Morgan of Wales (register-of-tartans, record)
Despite there being no known tradition of tartan in Wales, this is one of a growing series of commercial Welsh 'name' tartans marketed by the Wales Tartan Centre in Cardiff. The use of the words 'of Wales' is not of conventional territorial significance but is purely to identify the source and thus avoid confusion. Designed for The Wales Tartan Centre in Cardiff by Sheila Daniel of Cambrian Woollen Mill, Powys. - 2002 — Morgan (Welsh Name) (tartans-authority, record)
The tartan for this Welsh surname and its variations, is commercially accepted as a tartan or ?plaid? in Wales, this is one of the tartans actually woven in Wales at the Cambrian Woollen Mill, weaving on the same site since 1830. This tartan differs from many traditional patterns in that the warp and weft differ, giving the finished worsted wool cloth more of a predominant ?stripe?, vertically noticeable in the finished Kilt, or ?Cilt? in Wales. Available from Wales Tartan Centres in Swansea, +44 (0)1792 474685.
