Cthulhu tartan: what kilt type will you make?

**Stilletto_Rebel** · 27th April 11, 01:44 PM

I'm going to go with good old knife pleats. Paul Henry will be making mine.

So... Am I missing something here? Or is there really a Cthulhu tartan? And, are you sure a kilt that gets made out of it wont eat your soul? If not, then I agree with Dale Seago... an 8 yard knife pleat and a feileadh mor.

Is there an ancient variation of this tartan? Or only modern? I mean... Cthulhu is pretty old, I would think some of the dye would have faded in that time.

One is in the process, we are currently waiting for yarn selection to be complete.

Hi, Droid...

This thread is a follow-up thread to this one: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...yardage-64165/

So if you want some Cthulhu tartan, you can still get in on the order. Last time I checked, we were well over 100 yards! It was designed by Artificer, and a few of us thought it looked pretty wicked so we gave him a prod to actually bring it into existence from the depths of R'lyeh. (Iä! Iä! Cthulhu Fhtagn!)

Anyhoo, there is also a Cthulhu "social group" consisting of both Miskatonic U. alumni and Cthulhu cultists here: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/g...ulhu-cultists/ Feel free to join...

And here is the thread that started it all: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...-fhtagn-64014/

And it is also rumored that some of the forum's mods have connections to the Great Old Ones...

I was thinking the EXACT same thing, with enough left over for a skirt for my wife. Catholic schoolgirl style, not a full girls kilt. If I did my math right it is 4 yards for the box pleat kilt, 2 for the vest, and 2 for the skirt.

Oh its gonna be a box pleat, and I'm planning on presenting it when I wear it to the Atlanta DragonCon, or maybe the SFCon.....I can't wait!

**Hothir Ethelnor** · 28th April 11, 10:51 AM

It takes only 1 yard of cloth for a bias cut waistcoat so with 3 for a skirt that should work out nicely.

That's assuming you don't make it full back with tartan all around.

**jason10mm** · 28th April 11, 04:27 PM

I'll be at dragoncon as well. This is gonna be awesome!

Any update on a time frame for production? I'd love to get me hands on enough yardage for a belted plaid.

Is this something we'd have to do on our own? Does someone have the formula for the thread count?
