Yeah!

What Steve said!

For the guys who swear that they can't make a kilt..... OK, OK, then. You can't make a kilt.

For those that are willing to try, I recommend Barb's and Elsie's book (like has been recommended five hundred times before on this forum) and if you want something even easier to cut your teeth on, then try my X-Kilt instructions. Note that to do the X-Kilt, you will need to know how to operate a sewing machine. This can be accomplished by finding someone who knows how to run a sewing machine, inviting them over to your home for beer and pizza and producing the sewing machine in question. Slap down some scrap fabric and learn how to thread the machine, change stitches, hold the material and help guide it through the machine, wind a bobbin, and adjust the thread tension. It should take about an hour and a half, maybe two hours.

But hey, if you can't do that for whatever reason....and maybe you have one or more really good reasons, like A.) simply not having the space to store the machine, or B.) you can't afford the $50 it cost me to buy a used, perfectly workable sewing machine on ebay, and ship it to my house, or C.) you have bad arthritis in your hands, or D.) you have absolutely no patience for manual crafts, whatsoever.... OK. It's entirely your call.

Now, back to the price of kilts......A QUESTION.

Does anyone on the forum know of a USA or Canada or UK or Australia-based woolen mill that has NEW equipment? Mind you, I don't mean a place that produces yarn, but some place that produces actual wool cloth.
