    Red face Pottery Kilt Tartan

    Hi all, think I've decided on a USAK casual for my pottery kilt. Is there some way to find out the thread count for the Gray Granite tartan, or even better the MM PV tartan thread counts? Little visual impairment problem getting in the way of picking a tartan. Thanks.

    I don't have the thread count on the Granite tartan, but the sett size is 4" (a little smaller than I'd like, but not much I can do about it..)

    Thanks. Kind of what I was getting at is that I can't tell what the different colors of the tartan are because of my visual impairment. On some of the tartans, I can look at the colors listed in the thread count and get a good idea of what the tartan patern looks like in my mind. I can't seem to find the Granite thread count anywhere.

    Yep, I'm a bat. Usually I can just read all the comments like on the pictures and have a pretty good idea, but not in this case.

    Well I'm with you, the color and thread counts sure help a lot. I am contemplating a membership with the STA for this reason. Course we might could advocate for accessibility rights to the colors at least since anybody and everybody can see the pictures.

    On top of all that, there are some colors I just can't wear.
