    I am concerned that you want unicorns from places where ponies roam.

    I have, at least one yes so far, 142cm double width, yielding 200 per 60m fabric (25cm x 180cm) still awaiting two others to come back with their prices. No issue with the sourcing of finding elusive unicorns if you do your homework and hit the phone.

    Are you planning to cut up ordinary kilt fabric, hem the edges and then fringe the ends?
    I assumed that you wanted something with finished selvedges and as little work as possible, so was at cross purposes.
