If it is Merino and Steve put it together it is almost certainly F&K. About 15 months ago they had a big bolt of the stuff in 16oz that they were clearing out for 25CDN per meter, so there was a mad dash to get some before it was all gone, and a lot of people were unhappy about missing out on the deal. So Steve, I believe, propositioned Gordon (that sounds dirty, sorry) to do another special run of another length and steve made a number of kilts for folks from it. You either got some of the first stuff or second run from Steve, I bet.

Beautiful fabric, soft, vibrant colors, very comfortable, but it does feel a smidge lighter than my several other 16oz-ers. Could not imagine what it would feel like in 12 oz.
