I have some fabrics which will be pleated the same way - somewhere in the heap.

One is a tartan which I think is a Semple - I bought it as Black Watch and it wasn't. It has a fairly large sett which is what makes it easy to do the alternating stripes.

The other fabric is an asymmetric almost tartan which I will pleat to three stripes so it is half way between pleating to the stripe and pleating to the sett. It was cheap and I bought a whole bolt of it, and it is quite nice, but I sat and pondered over it for quite some time and almost decided to use it for something else - and then I had an idea...

I have rather a lot of fabric - and I have even more knitting yarn, so going searching can be hazardous, but if I come across my projects I will take a photo of the unfolded fabric and the pleated to illustrate the problem of a large sett size.
