I agree. I can't wait to see the end results, or how different people decide to pleat it.

Very interesting... something I would consider too.

Is there any other Mills that could be looked at for weaving this ?
Surely there's more than just Dagliesh...

( sorry I'm new & jumping in here late... but better late than missing out. )

There are other mills that do short runs, especially now that our 'short run' is getting a bit larger. Dalgliesh is regarded as doing very nice work at a decent price (when you can get a quote

)

If I don't hear by tomorrow AM I'll try and call them (I'm also stuck in the midst of a computer upgrade, among other things).

Good news! Dalgliesh called ME this morning after yesterday's email attempt. Apparently my email service is returning their messages to them as undeliverable???

We are definitely talking in the range we had been anticipating, ~20GBP per yard of double width material (roughly $32US based on today's exchange rate of 1.60/1).

I will have to adjust the prices slightly to cover paypal and the international currency conversion fee to pay Dalgliesh.

Also, they WILL split the total order and ship to individual members, so there will be no big "Break and Ship" on my part and no giant customs bill to split up

They said that orders up to 4yds double width ship Parcel Force (Royal Mail) and are very inexpensive. Larger orders may have to post UPS or similar and could result in customs or brokerage fees.

I am getting back in contact with them to start the process of colour selection and calculating the cost of postage to various places.

Hopefully we can get the order ready to roll in the next two weeks or so, stragglers will be left behind or eaten

With that said:

Please either drop a response here if you ARE SURE you want yardage. We ARE moving forward.

For the sake of my sanity PLEASE no web-chatter from this point, simply a yes/no and confirmation/change of yardage wanted.

I am starting a "Kilted Cthulhu Cultist" social group for the web chatter and further discussion of NON-Yardage related topics. Find it HERE

That's a yes for me; I'll stick with the aforementioned 9 yards for a tailored kilt and a feileadh mor.

**Calico** · 11th February 11, 04:08 PM

Yes - 4 yards double-width

**Drac** · 11th February 11, 02:40 PM

I am in for 2 sets of 4 yards. One set for a full kilt for me. Two yards for plaid or sash and two for a box pleat SKIRT for Amy.

Ok to do it this way? 2 sets of 4 yards?

4 yards confirmed!

I don't know, it may incur extra shipping charges. I can try and post you and your wife as separate "recipients"*

** Most likely. I'm going to see if I can shake out the details of shipping and VAT by Monday or Tues. Hopefully we'll be able to make the postage directly payable by the intended recipients (as well as any applicable fees) basically as if we were each ordering individual custom runs. That way I don't get a whopping huge bill that wasn't calculated initially, and none of you over-pay me.

Me - 3
Drac - 8*
EldarKinSlayer - 4
Jordan - 4**
Dale Seago - 9
Llwyd - 2
Calico - 4
Danwell - 2.5
kc8ufv - 5
g koch - 2
