Kiltmaker's Input Requested, & Who Wants Cthulu Tartan Yardage?

[Oddern]

I have followed this thread from the start just to envy you all on this great and rare tartan. I would have ordered a length my self, but I don't have the finances for it at this time.. buu huu.
I have to write a post of warning now because I see that some of you are planning on making you first kilt with with this tartan. you MUST NOT try to do this without trying it out on a cheap TARTAN cloth once or twice before embarking on the real thing. As I understand, this is a one time run tartan, probably never to be made again. It would be a shame to make mistakes that can do irrevocable damage to the cloth.
Good luck to you all.
Skål!

This is EXACTLY what I intend to do. I have some cheep plaid (AE definiton) fabric I paid a few bucks a yard for that was bought specifically with practice in mind. I don't think it was a tartan (with both horizontal and vertical the same) but was close enough for practice. And, it definitely was too light for me to wear out and about. Again, it is just for practice before I work with the good stuff ordered in this thread. I likely will put it togeather, try it on, rip it apart, put it togeather again.... a few times before I start with this evil pattern.

I planned on making at least two kilts, possibly more before attempting anything with this cloth. But your warning is well taken.
