    You hit that right on the spot! Brilliant! The mirror-imaged multi-color stripes would work perfectly in a reverse kingussie!

    Convert the asymmetrical design into a symmetrical one. It's like converting matter into energy! lol. Or the more common saying "turning lemons into lemonade."

    The blacks stripes will end up radiating away from the center of the kingussie pleats. (The original picture is actually upside down - the selvedge is on the top of the picture).


    HOWEVER, having said that, the Bear Tartan may not lend itself well to showing the multi-color stripe as the main vertical lines shown in the pleats - mostly because it is thick (wide) and may cause some unnecessary busy-ness in the pleat display.

    I shall try to pin it in various ways to show off certain aspects of the sett. (I'm excited)... Being couped-up indoors during this The Inauguration weekend --- that may provide me with something to do (as if I didn't have plenty already) lol.
