Looking for advice on ordering tartan

[Barb T]

Hi Dick,

Yup - you have HoE tartan (8 yards of custom weave would have set you back more than twice that!). You will really like HoE tartan. The "hand" is really nice, and the selvedge is gorgeous. And because it's single width, you don't need to stress about a center back join.

We will definitely do Kilt Kamp next summer in Upstate New York. Where are you in Canada? The course is a bargain, and, once you know how to make a kilt, you can hone your skills on your own. And we have a LOT of fun. Crossing fingers the pandemic will be behind us.

Oh - just saw you're in Woodstock, Ontario. Not all that far from here!

My dad was Canadian and grew up in one of the inundation villages along the St. Lawrence just upstream from Cornwall.

Barb,

I’m pleased you feel that it’s a going to be a quality tartan, knitted self edged and no joining to boot! And hopefully the COVID will be far behind us, I work in the airline industry and I’m more and more doubtful about that one unfortunately But fingers crossed. You’re half Canadian, Then you’re from good people as my Grandmother Campbell would say! Once again thanks for your help.

Dick
