• 01/05/2003 — Dark Island (register-of-tartans, record)
• undated — Dark Island Black Weavers Tartan Tartan Number: 5832. Earliest known date: May 2003 A Solid Sett* tartan and an innovative departure from conventional tartan design. An ecru (white) yarn has been woven on a Jacquard loom with the sett being formed by stitches other than 2/2 twill and then the finished fabric has been piece-dyed black. The sett is highlighted because of the differing light reflecting qualities of the stitches. Here they are shown in grey so as to be discernible. *This new category of tartan has been given the description of Solid Sett - a solid colour but with a sett still showing.
