    Wow, that's exactly the same as mine, I'd have to echo Barb's comments of an earlier post, just don;t expect to get as finely/tightly woven cloth as the standard kilted fabric.
    But weaving one's own cloth is great

    There's a couple things you can do to get a higher sett- obviously the easiest is goign to be using a thinner read, or to double through a 10 dent reed. However, the finishing process will also have a major effect on how wool winds up. If you very slightly felt the fabric (which is similar to boiled wool) then you'll get a much denser weave.
