From Coat of Arms to Tartan: The Cadilhac Case.

[figheadair]

Not too disimmilar to the Kilgour tartan.

I don't like the busy effect of the arrangement K2 Y2 K2 Y2 K2 Y2. Bands conprising lots of 2 thread stripes is a tricky arranglement to get right. Also, the initial K2 will likely be lost in the mix.

Consider amending the proportions of the colours relative to each other and removing the initial black line; for example, Y4 K4 Y4 K4 Y4.

@Tarheel: Thanks for your opinion! Appreciated :-) The sett size is 5.2'' according to the design tool. That's on the low end of what they recommend, but already the one I made had a sett size of 4'' and still ended up OK. I believe that Todd's preview is about the right size. As for limitations incurred by asymmetry, what do you have in mind? I don't recall a moment I really needed a symmetry on my kilting days, but I may have missed something indeed :-)

@Todd: Thanks so much for that preview, mighty great stuff! Is there a tool online for that?

@figheadair: Yeah, K2 Y2 is a crowded patch indeed, you are definitely right. I really like what you did with the colors too, that's definitely inspiring! Thanks very much! You say that the initial K2 of this sequence would be "lost in the mix"; is that to say that one won't see it, or that it unnecessarily loads the pattern?

Thanks to you all, you're helping a lot :-)
