    I'm currently working on a short mediumwight run mathed to the original count and sett size and in-the-grease which is the nearest to hard tartan that one can get nowadays.

    A number of people have contacted me regarding a heavy weight run so single or double would depend on the economics. I guess more people would be interested in a kilt weight so I'm inclinded towards double width.

    All thing being equal I'm looking at getting started in the next 2-3 weeks.

    I think as soon as there are pictures posted of the first kilt made in this tartan that you will have no problem selling the remaining run of tartan.
