Hi Phil

You only need 4 yards of double width for a full trad kilt (4 yds double width makes an 8 yd kilt), so you'll have some left over for a plaid, if you want one.

The size of the pleats will be governed by the size of the sett, and you won't know what the sett size is be until you get it and measure it. Any idea what the weight of the tartan is?

Cheers,

Barb
