@tcl_tk There's also an online version of Tartaniser linked from https://cmacleod.me.uk/ .
I'm not posting the direct link because it uses CloudTk to put the Tcl/Tk program online. I once made the mistake of posting a link to another CloudTk-enabled program and the resulting traffic from all the Mastodon instances it propagated to hammered my little server into the ground. 🪶

“Colour is a language in the novel… The men can’t talk about the truth of their feelings, or about what’s really going on. But they have such specificity around colour, and that’s the one place they can meet”
—Douglas Stuart on JOHN OF JOHN, & championing Hebridean weavers

🏴 #ScotRail has unveiled its first official #tartan as it prepares to support a landmark year of sporting and cultural events across #Scotland in 2026. Designed by chief graphic designer Susie MacLeod, the tartan draws inspiration from the rhythm, structure and connectivity of Scotland’s rail network. Its blue and white colour scheme reflects ScotRail’s branding, while double white lines symbolise railway tracks and the Saltire, representing communities linked by Scotland’s Railway. The design has been added to the #Scottish Register of Tartans after meeting strict requirements. Customers will soon see the tartan across the network, including on hospitality items, ticket vending machines, advertising displays and the interiors of new Class 222 intercity #trains. ScotRail said the tartan celebrates its heritage, national identity and role in connecting communities across the country.

“As a patterned textile, [tartan] features straight lines, right angles, bright colours, and no ambiguity; as a symbol, its lines become fuzzy, its angles circular, its colours muddied, and its meaning polysemic.”

“It has been calculated that the area of tartan cloth made each year is sufficient to cover Edinburgh’s Royal Mile to a depth of six hundred feet, an event which you could be forgiven for thinking has already happened”

“Admiration for Scottish thought did not, for many Americans, extend to admiring, or even liking, the Scots in their midst. Jefferson included a condemnation of ‘Scotch and other foreign mercenaries’ in an early draft of the Declaration of Independence”

Today, 6 April, is Tartan Day – a principally North American day of celebration of Scottish heritage, although it’s also marked, unofficially, in Argentina. 6 April was chosen as it’s the date of the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath in 1320.

One year ago: "A new Scottish #tartan has been created to honor the thousands of people—primarily women—executed for #witchcraft in #Scotland between the 16th and 18th centuries. The Witches of Scotland is a movement seeking 'Justice for people accused and convicted under the Witchcraft Act 1563-1736'
The Witches of Scotland tartan is part of a campaign to recognize what advocates call one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in the nation’s history. "

Greenland is to be presented with its own tartan as a cross-party group of MPs is set to visit Nuuk.
The visit follows months of threats from President Donald Trump’s administration on the country’s status.
As part of their trip, the chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Greenland (APPG), SNP MP Brendan O’Hara, will present the Greenlandic Parliament and government with a Greenland tartan this week.

Also, APROPOS OF NOTHING OKAY, it looks like #Wales Tartan Center is a reputable welsh #tartan source. Is that the case or is it just because they're the only ones who do business online? Maybe @textileart would know someone who's knowledgeable?

Hey Fedi! I'm looking forward to buy me another pleated tartan mini skirt … but all I can find on eBay and Etsy doesn't cut it in terms of fabric/style/length (too kink/too grunge). A seller on Etsy offers some choice of colours/patterns, but it's all in one style, which I already bought.
For me, it's all about a beautiful, classic and slightly sexy cut for the skirt. EU (ofc including the UK) shipment is a plus.
Any pointers/recommendations out there? :boosts_ok_gay: :blobcatthinking: Cheers!
