Thule Tartan

[Colonel MacNeal]

I like the designs, but did you intend to make it an asymmetric tartan? If woven in double-width, an asymmetric tartan requires more length to make a standard kilt than a symmetric tartan because you can't rip it lengthwise and join the two pieces in the back. I would recommend moving the black and green so that both sets of , say, green lines are inside both sets of black lines, to provide a pivot point in the sett, where one side of the pivot mirrors the other.

Turpin,

We'll just have to weave it single width then. Still hypothetical. However, I am considering making a few refinements to the blue tartan and authorizing Gunnar to be my agent with the Icelandic Tourism Board.

Cheers, ColMac
