Interesting weaving issue

SNIP
I've only encountered this a couple of times before, and both previous times was with an asymmetric tartan. The mill reversed the sett at the center fold in order to make it possible for a kiltmaker to split 4 yards of double width and make a kilt without a hem. Again, it's fine for kiltmaking, but wouldn't be OK for other applications where the full width needs to have a continuous sett.

IF the mill did this to an asymmetrical tartan (I know for a fact Marton Mills does it on their Stewart Hunting for example), when you cut and splice the cloth, you'll have to have half of it with the twill running ///// and the other half with the twill running \\\\\\. That's the problem when trying to 'cheat it' by just doing a mirror image in the middle.

I do like the kilt you made from that cloth though, Barb. Very nice!
