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.
I appreciate the clarification! I did know that but mis-typed. It may be helpful to know that for my purposes I'm not deadset on a Scottish mill, although that would certainly be a bonus. The idea of this tartan is tying heritage with the new creation of our family and blended name; that heritage includes Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales so a mill from any of those places would do!
I've dropped a line for a quote to Andrew Elliot after what seems to be a unanimous agreement in their favor. I'd love to hear more about everyone's experience with having something woven, having never done this before!
