    I'll put in a guess with Stewart of Ardshiel. I'm not 100% certain of that.

    Wonderful! That one was my best guess, even though what I was seeing in the STA database didn't seem to exactly match what I was seeing in your woven sample.

    The "coral" as described in the STA's threadcount looks a definitive pink on the monitor, but in the picture of your woven sample those stripes (to me) look white.

    Likewise what is clearly a blue in your woven sample (the darker blue, not the azure), looked flat-out black in the image in the STA database. It was not until I opened up the design ticket and had a look at the thread count that I saw the color was described as "midnight" (a very dark shade of blue).*

    In any case, I guessed it had to be Stewart of Ardshiel because of the distinctiveness of the overall design. I'm glad I was correct!

    *Just to show how things can look different on different monitors, on my desktop that "midnight" color looks black, whereas when I view the same tartan file on my laptop I can clearly tell it is a dark blue.
