    xman's Highland Kilt #7: Complete

    6 yards of 16 oz. Evergreen Coffee Cairngorm tweed from Marton Mills.
    Turned out great. Feels really good.



    Time for #8. This one will be a gift for a dear friend of mine.

    Wow, that kilt looks fantastic. I am really impressed by your productivity. I have to try making a tweed kilt my self but I have two other kilts on hold for the time being. So little time........

    Sorry to disappoint you gents, but #8 has already been spoken for. It'll be a gift for a mate of mine.

    I know. I sent him the pics you posted for his consideration and that's the way he's leaning. I should know his decision within hours and be able to get started on it.
