That´s fine, figheadair. But to be honest I´m a bit confused. What can I do now? I´m more than happy to accept your friendly advice

An updated information on the current tartan project. In the meantime, the clients and I have opted for the large sett (DB/74 G6 DB6 G42 DG40 G6 DG40 G42 DB40 G6 DB/6) combined with a herringbone selvedge (9 x 8 = 72 ends) in Olive Green.

A length of thirteen metres single width tartan cloth will be woven soon. Three lads will get a box pleat kilt in their family tartan. That´s lovely. I hope I can post some photos of the tartan in the loom next time. I´ll keep my fingers crossed.

Just a wee correction. To give the tartan a more effective and impressing appearance, we now have agreed to enlarge the sett to the size for the so-called Fine Kilts (Large Sett). The cloth features a herringbone selvedge with 74 ends (1 x 10 bottom plus 8 x 8) in Olive Green.

The dark blue and olive green lines have been enlarged from 6 to 8 threads, whereas the fields have grown from 40 to 44 (DG), from 74 to 76 (DB) and from 42 to 48 threads (G).
