Favorite Mill?

[figheadair]

Hey all,

I'm working on having my tartan design woven and was curious for the wisdom of this community. Do you have a favorite mill? Are there things that I should be looking for in a mill? Places that I should be avoiding?

The folks over at Prickly Thistle suggested Ingles Buchan and Andrew Elliott. I know USA Kilts will do custom orders through Scottish mills, one of which being Marton Mills and Sport Kilt will source fabric specifically for kiltmaking.

Anyhow, I appreciate the advice!

By way of clarification, Marton Mills weave nice cloth but they are not a Scottish weaver, they are based in West Yorkshire (England).

If you want a short run then there is only one mill IMO, Andrew Elliot Ltd. Not only is it a Scottish based firm but they still use ther older type of Crossdob Loom that allows them to weave a selvedge, as opposed to a 'Tuck Edge'. I use them for all my special weave projects.
