R'lyeh Tartan inquiry

[Steve Ashton]

I know that there was a lot of interest a few years ago over the R'lyeh Tartan but I do not seem to be able to find a listing in either the Scottish Register of Tartan or the Scottish Tartans Authority.

I seem to remember that it was designed by one of our members. Perhaps Artificer. But he has not logged on for over a year and emails to him are bouncing back as undeliverable.

I also seem to remember that Matt Newsome handled the ordering from Dalgliesh but again, Matt has not logged on for over 5 years.

Does anyone have any information on the Tartan design itself? Who the designer of record is? The thread count if possible? Any restrictions or copyrights?

Did you see this thread?

[Steve Ashton]

Yes, I did but Artificer has not logged on since 2014. His email address does not work anymore and he does not seem to be answering messages on his facebook page.
Does anyone have any contact info for him?

Or would someone with some of the fabric mind taking a thread count.

Steve, this was designed without any reference to the STA which is why we've been unsighted on it, until now. There are enough images online to extract a threadcount from. I'll add it to the STA offline Db later and send you the threadcount.

I have finally been able to contact both Matt Newsome and Artificer.

Artificer is indeed the designer but he lost the thread count in a computer hard drive crash.

Peter, if you can determine a thread count perhaps we can reserrect the R'lyeh Tartan and give Artificer his credit as designer.

Steve, PM sent.
