Last year I had the pleasure of making a kilt for a young man who hand wove his own material, and it was a real gem. I complimented him on the cloth and told him that it looked and felt just like Peter MacDonald's cloth (I've had to to alterations and once a complete remake of a kilt in your cloth, Peter).
He told me that Peter had given him guidance in the weaving, and I believe even supplied the yarn. :-)
Lamont or Forbes, can't remeber which but the pics looked great and yes I suppied the yarn.
