    I was thinking that I would... But I haven't contacted the good Lady in regards to it yet. I've been swamped with work, unfortunately. I will try to do that relatively soon though.

    From the sounds of it, poor Chrystal is going to get tired of staring at this tartan...regardless of how attractive it is!

    Scott, do you know about how much longer we'll have to decide on how much yardage we want? Abigail is on the fence about it, and I want to be able to give her a rough time frame, if possible.

    Handling that much pure evil tartan, I hope it doesn't make her go mad. (Or more likely, the weavers that are handling the entire order of tartan)

    Is Dalgiesh making us purchase insurance to cover their staff's sanity for making them produce such an evil tartan?

    Antithesis of Ev il, designed to prevent insanity ;-)

    ...I never gave a thought to the fine folks in Scotland, minding the looms.

    Their dreams may be dark, indeed...

    Has there been a refinement in the cost of the material, I'm severely interested, but severely budget restricted, so..... How much is it?

    Now is also the time to get our individual financial ducks in a row. When the time comes to order, we won't be able to wait for anyone beyond the time from final quote to sending the order (about a week). I'd hate for people to get left out


    This is primarily due to the fluctuating exchange rates, with this amount of yardage even a few tenths of a pound shift will cause a shortfall that I don't personally want to fill.

    As of right now the costs are as follows:

    ~21GBP for the yardage itself (currently ~$34.68)

    if you are in the US we have:
    +3% (+$.30) for paypal fees
    +3% to cover the international currency fee from my CC (this may go away if Dalgliesh will accept paypal)

    for a rough total of $37.05/yd

    For non-US orderers:
    +4% (+$.40) for paypal fees
    +3% to cover the international currency fee from my CC (this may go away if Dalgliesh will accept paypal)

    for a rough total of $37.55/yd

    I'll end up doing the final math and posting a US/non US total per/yd once we have the final quote and based on the week's exchange rates. But these should give everyone a good idea of what the final yardage costs should be - barring wild currency swings.

    If the currency exchanges are very volatile we may have to either have a smaller ordering window or add a few cents per yard to cover market swings.

    + International Shipping, probably in the $40.00 range.
