    The colors look alright to me. Are they not dark enough? Is that the issue?

    I'd love 5 yards at least. And, as I am new to the making of kilts, what would I need for a knife pleat... single or double width?

    But, yes, at least 5 yards... maybe more.

    For a regular 8 yard knife pleated kilt you would require 4 yards (this order is double width).

    The issue with the original samples sent is that the tones are WAY off and none of the greens was dark enough to serve as the background colour as the original tartan was designed.
