My order from Lochcarron arrived

[Troglodyte]

I'm sure that non-acrylic was definitely worth it. When next I'm in Scotland, Lochcarron is on my short list.

There are several weavers within easy reach of Lochcarron in the Borders, and they are all well-worth visiting.

If hunting for something specific you may be restricted to what is on normal retail, but weavers often have bolt-ends available at give-away prices. I have been lucky in this way many times, and have come away with a three-piece suit-length piece of 21oz tweed for about £20. You are doing the mill a favour by taking it off their hands.
