    To do the various colours the way Mackie did in the past requires the correct ribbon colours (in three different widths) and correct tourie colours.

    I wonder if they have all the colours to hand.

    Then there's the dicing. Are they set up to knit it? Or do they have a stock of dicing in various colours?

    I'm trying to remember their old range of bonnet colours...am I missing any?

    Navy Blue
    black
    fawn
    Lovat blue
    Lovat green
    bottle green
    royal blue
    sky blue
    red
    claret/maroon
    brown
    khaki drab (military)
    Richard, I have a Robert Mackie 'Traditional Scottish Headwear' brochure from 2021. It lists all the colors you have except brown and khaki drab. Also, sky blue is Saxe blue. Scotland Shop does not offer faun, maroon, Lovet blue or Saxe blue.
