I'll email Dalgliesh tomorrow AM to see if I can get a solid estimate for both single and double width, that way we've got the spectrum, both best and worse case.

I would be a player for 4 yards double width, or 8 single, if the price is right.

Depending on price, I might be up for enough for a couple kilts. My dad wouldn't need to know how geeky the tartan is.

I haven't given my feedback yet... But I'd probably be good for about 4 yards for a box pleat.
As to the name, I'll list the ones that have been mentioned, and that I like (in order of preference):
1. R'lyeh
2. Miskatonic (But spelled with a "k" -- which I believe is the more common rendition)
3. Insanity
4. Cthulhu

This tartan has an old and mysterious origin. It was designed by a mad sporran maker in Michigan earlier last century. Some say he lost his mind after deep diving and what he saw in the depths. He spent the rest of his years drinking himself numb to try and forget what cannot be unremembered.
Read about it for yourself:

Be warned, to even glimpse at the horrors you will share in our insanity. It can never be cured.
Be careful what you ask for...

H.P. Lovecraft has inspired many modern authors horror like Brian Lumley (one of my favorites) who have continued his tales. My wife bought me this book a couple years ago -
