Scavenger Hunt: HELP

**andy.kirtland** · 20th August 09, 09:03 AM

hey guys,

i'm in need of some help. my sister's wedding is quickly approaching -Oct 31st- and for her ceremony she is hoping to have her bouquet tied with scraps of our tartan and her fiancee's. she was very disappointed to discover that what she thought were her scraps were my flashes.

we are looking for places to purchase a yard or two of BOYD ANCIENT and KYLE BLUE MODERN, either from weavers or from anybody who happens to have any sitting around (like you do) or even some left-over scraps from other projects. we would even buy enough for a scarf or a shawl if we would be able to have any scraps. a huge part of the difficulty is the rarity of the BOYD tartan, i'm not sure about the KYLE, this is the first time i've looked for that.

thank you all in advance for help and advice.

Andy

thanks guys.
and congrats to the kilted man from UC (go bear cats). i told don - the fiancee - to make sure the anniversary would be on a holiday so it would be easy to remember in the future.

If all you need are scraps you might consider just buying a couple tartan samples in the tartan you desire, if they are a standard woven tartan that is readily available. Cheaper than buying a whole yard and only using a couple inches, Scotweb's samples in particular are 8-10 inches or so, which may be enough for your needs.

If you are looking for a scarf in tartan colors/pattern but want something a little different consider contacting St Croix weavers about a custom woven scarf---they will color match existing tartan samples, or weave from the STA threadcount and color standards, and have a pretty quick turnaround time and reasonable prices.
