    kids kilt

    I am planning to make kilts for my grandkids, ages 3,4, and 5. our family tartan was made by Dalgliesh. my question is if Clan.com has taken over manufacturing there products, which appears to be the case?

    I really don't know for sure, but I suspect a newish member here-----I am sorry, I cannot remember his xmarks membership name---- may be able to help?

    @Adrian purchased D C Dalgliesh's yarn. So you may want to reach out. But if the interest is in an uncommon tartan, you may need a custom order to have it weaved. Good luck!

    I cannot, of course, speak for Dalgliesh, but from personal experience a few years ago they wove a custom tartan for me with my own choice of shades of colours for a recognised tartan and with a larger than standard sett and I thought the cost was very reasonable. Why not ask?

    I've heard from several people that Dalgliesh was fantastic for custom runs of tartan. With their closure, I wonder which mill people now prefer. (https://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/...lgliesh-99125/)

    It is the Chapman personal tartan. Clan offers it at $154. per yard. My thought is to make the kilt's in pride of Scotland or Scottish Heritage which i can get at a much cheaper price point.
