    Greetings,

    Previous posts, about the resizing of the sett can be adapted to fit a kilt etc, looking at Scotweb, and I know Brian K mentioned the 8" I have resized the sett from the register, and here is an image:



    This is the original sett size from the register:



    Also this is a picture of someone wearing the original size sett:




    All the best,


    Graham


    Another note: I do know that different sizes of yarn do effect the outcome/display of a design, and I understand it is difficult to asses the actual size when made to measure for a piticular item, when I got my tartan done, I designed it small scale then times x2 and then x3 to make options for e.g. the small scale would suit a tie, then x2 would maybe suit a scarf and scale x3 I would have for my kilt.
