Another Wildcat Tartan update

**Alan H** · 27th November 14, 11:10 AM

We've chosen a weaver, and it's DC Dalgliesh.

I was going to PM people here on XMTS who had not joined the Facebook group when more information became available, but that was so long ago, now, that all your messages are buried in my in-box. I might even have deleted a few. If you're NOT on the Facebook group....NOT IN THE FACEBOOK GROUP... and you'd like more information, you can PM me.

OK, let's keep public responses to this thread to the absolute minimum. Again, if you're not in the Facebook group and you want more information, PM me. If you're in the Facebook group, please contact me/Glen/Barb there.

The Scottish Wildcat Tartan has now been registered by the Scottish Register of Tartans. Note that the SRT does not differentiate between one "brown" and another "brown". Brown is brown, yellow is yellow to them. Therefore the CAD picture on the link below does not reflect that actual thread colors that DC Dalgliesh will use in weaving the tartan.

We have taken orders for 90 yards. The ordering period for the initial run is closed. Paul Henry will likely serve as a distributor in the future and our US shop that is handling delivery of this run may opt to carry the tartan, as well.

We that opted to stay involved, are waiting for an appearance. Likened to sighting the Scottish Wildcat in its natural habitat, the "jonesing" is intoxication.

Congratulations, gentlemen, on getting as far as registration. I received notice of it today.
Now to see what Dalgliesh make of it!
Keep on kilting!
Regards,
Mike

Alan, do you have actual shades samles from Dalgliesh or are you using their online resource? The latter is okay but nothing like the former. I have colour twists of their complete stock range. Let me know if I can help.

Glen worked through Barb to obtain thread samples from Dalgliesh. Glen chose threads that matched what we'd all preferred (known throughout the design contest as the grey "Jock Scot variant".)
