Kiltmaker's Input Requested, & Who Wants Cthulu Tartan Yardage?

[Paul Henry]

snip.....

But I'm starting to see the value in having the tartan registered for future reproduction, matching tartan dye is worse than matching paint!

I know a little off topic, but registering the tartan doesn't actually register the actual colours , other than black,purple, light and dark green ( for example).

There would still be leeway for variations within the actual colours. There could be advisory information included, or the tartan could be restricted to a particular weaver or only available from the registrant.

As some of us keep saying, there is no official colour chart, the choice is usually down to the weaver, which is why there is a colour variation between weavers of the same tartans. I don't think of this as a problem, but one of which it offers greatest choice for the end user

Of course Scott should have the say in what colours he wants his tartan to be in, and D C Dalgleish should be very happy to help him choose,even if it takes several sample threads

Is it too late to jump in on this?

Not as far as I know. Nothing has been woven yet -- only quoted. Just post your desired DW yardage requirement... But at this point it may be wiser to simply PM Artificer so he can make sure to include you.

Thanks. I've PM'd Artificer requesting four yards DW.
