I understand the rayon is call viscus(sp) in the UK. I also found a coupon for 40% off. At $7.99 a yard original cost, I walked out with what I consider a nice looking fashion tartan for $3.30 a yard. I got all 7.75 yards and now have to plan how to pleat the tartan for a kilt.

    Moderator - I understand that this is a region/country specific post and will understand if it is deleted.
    I did the same yesterday at JoAnns. I even posted the picture of the tartan for help with ID. One of them is very similar to Stewart Grey. Did you find that these some of these polyviscose are too lightweight? Hmmmm. we'll see. Let me know how yours turns out.
