I ordered and received a copy of Barbs book, The Art of Kiltmaking. I have just started reading it and plan on making my first two kilts. Both of these will be 8 yarders, the first will be made of of a piece of green tweed I won of of ebay a while back.

For kilt number 2 I want a piece of nice black wool. Ive kinda looked around but haven't really found any 16 oz black wool. Any ideas where to get some? An idea for a kilt down the road also is maybe trying to find a piece of saffron colored wool . I want to make these first two solid color kilts before I attempt a tartan kilt though :-D
