The only thing missing from these calculations is; is 16 oz tartan really 16 oz's per yard? ...
Bah, Bah Black Sheep have you any wool?
Well, given that fabric weights are given in ounces per yard of double width cloth - 9 yards of 16 oz single-width would weigh 72 oz, not 144 oz.

In that case
9 yard full dress tank would be 1.5 sheep, a 4 yard box pleat would be .75,McMudos Tanks would bewould be about 2.25 sheep.
