    A 3 foot person is about 1/2 scale, so all you would have to do is scale down the thread count. the weaver should be able to do this easily. Here is the thread count for the MacKenzie tartans, and the basic colour codes for tartan ...

    R (red), K (black), DR (darkred), NB (navy), DG (darkgreen), BG (darkcyan), N (silver), DN (gray), LG (lightgreen), G (green), Y (yellow), B (blue), LB (lightblue), W (white), P (darkviolet), LP (violet)

    I just thought about this. You could also look into getting a womans sash, as the materal is thiner, and the weave is also has a smaller sett. The sash my wife has is 3 (repeat of the sett) high, and is 11". My kilt is 2 1/2 repeats. so I guess that this would work for you, and save you the cost of a specal weave.

    I simply can't believe the luck. (I pulled this card out of my wallet today)

    St. Croix Weaving might be able to help
    My wife purchased a tartan scarf from them at the last ramble. (Campbell)
    They do a lot of work in silk, which might help a bit with the scale drape.
