OK Folks, what incredible luck I have. I'm working on an baby kilt for some friends of mine and their son Ian. The father is Celtic Cowboy, he joined up here not so long ago. When I'm finished with Ian's kilt, I'm on to make my 3rd DIY in MacPherson Red.

I had to budget my finances a little because I recently took a vacation to NC. I wanted to get some wool to make my first DIY wool kilt. Well the Scottish Weaver, www.scottishweaver.com had some MacPherson red on their clearance page. 3 yards, 13oz, 54" wide for $99.99. Well I've been watching their page to see if anyone would nab it. No one did....

So I ordered it Monday morning and it just arrived an hour ago. I immediately opened it up to inspect and I was pleasantly surprised. The tag on the tartan said Locharron of Scotland. I was expecting it to be their stuff they have woven in Canada. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I just scored a real deal!

have a look:








Folks I will keep you all posted as my work ensues.
