A word of caution: I've ordered from this link twice. The first time the wool was okay - not great.

The second time it was unusable for a kilt. There were only 4 yards left of what I ordered, so I got it all. I measured, cut, and ripped the first side, then checked it against the other side only to find that the two sides would not match up. The part of the tartan that was repeated in the 26.5" I had already ripped took nearly 28" to repeat on the other side... which meant there was no way to piece these two pieces together to form a kilt-length of any sort, as the material is too light to be suitable as a 4-yard kilt.

I've since found another use for the two 4-yard pieces (as part of a tartan quilt which I'll post about here eventually...) but I was certainly not happy about the wool either time, particularly that second order.
