It so happens I am working on two different Isle of Skye kilts at the moment, both fabric from Marton Mills, but one in 16 oz the other in 13 oz.The photo is of both of them side by side
The thread size in the lighter weight one is a little bit finer, so that makes a smaller sett. Truth be told I much prefer the 16 oz , but I'm making what the clients wanted!
