paulhenry,
I appreciate your feedback! Thanks. And that does help. Of course, at some point, too much custimization means too expensive

MacMillan's son,

Good point.

It is difficult to tell the size from the image, but although the sett is completely different there is some pattern similarity with the Anderson tartan I wear. I would post a picture for you but don't know how. My pictures are on my computer disc not a web site, so you will just have to look at the avatar. Heavier weights do have slightly larger setts but I doubt there will be a huge difference between a 13 and 16 oz.

That is precisely my concern. Hard to tell from the image about the sett...

I design a lot at Scotweb so I just went and checked and an 8" sett in 16 oz. wool becomes a 6.7" sett in a 13 oz. wool.

I would imagine that a custom run of tartan could be had for the price of a custom run of tartan, no matter what thread count you specify. I don't think a tartan with a particular thread count would be any less difficult to set up than one with the same count doubled.

Generally that is the case. In the past I've been charged the same amount per yard even if ordering an off sett design to be used for a jined sett. That said, I have to do all the calculations but it's still amazing that there isn't a premium.
