Tartans error

[edit]

This sort of thing:

Thread Count: K/8 G42 W6 G42 B42 R/8 (half-sett with full count at the pivots).

is self-contradictory. The "K/8 ... R/8" markup means, by definition, half-count at the pivots. Full count at the pivots is marked up as "/K16 ... R16/" or in boldface notation as "K16 ... R16". But I don't know if it's the thread counting or the "full count" claim that is wrong here, without getting the thread counts from somewhere like Scottish Register of Tartans. That is, what might have been intended is really "/K8 ... R8/" or in boldface notation "K8 ... R8" (which would be "K/4 ... R/4" in half-count notation).  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  05:40, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
