Here it is:

R/8 B4 R4 B4 R4 B56 K56 R4 K/12

Depending on the weaver, your mileage may vary.

The threadcount I gave above seems to be the one used by Lochcarron and Strathmore. The House of Edgar uses a different threadcount and, for my own reasons, I recently decided to reverse engineer the House of Edgar's threadcount from a photograph of the fabric I found online. Here is the result:

R/6 B4 R4 B4 R4 B56 K64 R4 K/6

i was just playing about with an online tartan generator and wondered what it looked like with green instead of blue.

In case anyone is interested, you have to be a member of the Scottish Tartans Authority to get to the thread counts in the Tartan Ferret. Otherwise, you just get to the thumbnail and tartan info. Membership info at:
