"Does Martonmills sell to the public in small (single kilt) yardage?"
Yes, I have ordered frequently from them. You can order by Phone BUT beware of the credit card charges from your bank on the conversion to pounds. It took me about 2 weeks to get the fabric but it came on fiber tubes (cardboard) and about 72 inches long so postage/shipping REALLY cost! Bulk order of a single fabric are great but ordering 10 meters of 3 different fabrics and each came on it's own roll was a little hard to handle. Shipping cost as much as the tartans! This was 2 years ago so I don't know if they still handle shipping this way but it is something to check on.
Here are the places I visit now...
http://www.kilts.com/polyviscose.htm - They carry/can get all the PV that Marton Mills make and if you figure in the fabric cost, shipping cost from UK and the credit card conversion the cost is very reasonable to me. Also they shipped priority post and in USPS mailer. I don't know if they can get the wool tartans but I am sure they can make arrangements.
http://www.thefrugalcorner.com/ - Not quiet the selection but WHAT A PRICE!!! I orders 5 yards and received it in about a week. I have not made the kilt yet but I am already to order more fabric.
I have not ordered from Fraser and Kirkbrights yet but....
Also I read in another post that SPORT KILTS will sell fabric by the yard. I have several 'house kilts' from them but I have not tried to order fabric from them.
I would also like to hear more places and MAYBE (HINT HINT) X-Marks could keep a running list of vendors that have fabric. While I know not everyone that wears a kilt will get the urge to make one but just in case this would help the do it yourselfers.
