Canadian tartans

[CMcG]

Once again, is it me or does the Ontario Centennial listed just a few posts above have two entirely different thread counts in the warp and weft directions? I guess it is still a tartan but tough to describe it in the classic terms of thread counts and pivots. Would that be an example of a named fashion tartan? The only other similar one I personally know of is the St David's tartan which I believe has red and greenish blue vertical stripes with horizontal thin stripes but no horizontal green or red.

Good eyes, sir. The Scottish Register of Tartans calls it a fashion tartan and has this to say about it:

"Note says 'from Pik Mills'. An extremely complicated sett, non reversing and with very different warp and weft. Count from Scottish Tartans Society. Procedings Series 3 No. 2. Note there said: 'This tartan was one of a special presentation for centennial year.'"
