    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

    See, can't even engage brain at the same time as typing. I meant to say 5 yds in total as there are 2 1/2 yds double width. Doh!:-?

    Well, you could have a traditional 4 yd. box pleated kilt made with it.
