And it may also make a difference if the sett repeat was being measured across the warp or the weft.
LoL. It could also be a matter of the maths of adding threads to given elements in proper proportion. Where, in a given sett, it might not work out to an even 8". When Dalgliesh originally calculated it, the sett was close to 7.25", they asked if that was good or if I wanted to go to 8" as was originally specified. I said 8".
I have no plans to file a complaint. As Dale said, it's an anomaly, and, given the subject matter, I am well satisfied that the Great Old Ones have made their will manifest in the maths of the sett.
