Would there be any interest - Quebec Tartan in 16oz

[CDNSushi]

It's pretty... But to my eyes it would be a little too close to the Maple Leaf tartan in its overall coloration. But I'd love to see the final product on somebody. I'm sure it will look amazing!

There are a few images in google image search - it's primarily a strong red, navy and emerald tartan with a little white and gold. In tartan form, it's quite different from the Maple Leaf tartan in it's coloration.

Steve, am I looking at it correctly in that I see an asymmetric tartan?

[Steve Ashton]

No Mike, The Quebec Tartan is symmetrical. The small image has an error.

Steve,

I was under the impression that the Quebec tartan is an asymmetrical (per images, and Barb's book among other resources) Of course, there may be multiple tartans attributed as the Quebec tartan - am I confusing it for something else?

[The Wizard of BC]

Yes, Abbie I was mistaken. I just got the thread count for the Quebec Tartan.

the assymetrical portions are the small - dk blue, yellow, lt blue, & red lines. and also the dk grey, white, lt grey stripes within the red band. They are all in the same order. They are not mirror images.

The fix to this is the have the fabric woven single width or simply deal with the small stripes.

However, the small images of the Tartan from The Scottish Tartans Authority and also the Scottish Register of Tartan are incorrect too. They do not follow the thread count. The dk gray, white, lt gray should have red on both sides.

Here is the strip of the thread count.



As this would be a custom run we could easily ask them to make the stripes mirror images. That way we could have this woven as double-width fabric.
