    As always having an affinity for the Norse (& having also discovered them lurking in the family tree recently ) I too like what you have created, however for myself personally I'd like to reserve final judgement upon seeing the actual cloth.
    That's just me

    I rather like it - then again I am usually drawn to most distinctive designs - and this manages to blend being quite unique and stand-outish with being blended and pretty.

    The name is very good too! I quite like the idea of 'mythical' tartans!

    Per Gunni's request, the "Thule Raudi" aka "Thule Norsk" tartan, the Norwegian Red Thule tartan.
    Cheers, ColMac

    (amazing what can be done on Powerpoint)

    I really like both designs. Thanks. I certainly had a number of friends at Thule.

    I like the designs, but did you intend to make it an asymmetric tartan? If woven in double-width, an asymmetric tartan requires more length to make a standard kilt than a symmetric tartan because you can't rip it lengthwise and join the two pieces in the back. I would recommend moving the black and green so that both sets of , say, green lines are inside both sets of black lines, to provide a pivot point in the sett, where one side of the pivot mirrors the other.
