I thought I'd pretty much explained. Our weavers prefer to work in pairs of threads. So this restriction helps keep costs down for everyone, whilst helping less experienced users in particular to create aesthetic and practical designs.
We'd be willing to consider an over-ride in a future release, if we feel there is sufficient call for this. But it would be with the proviso of possible surcharges for weaving. What do other people think?
Meanwhile, there is an alternative work-around in that you can always double up your thread numbers, as it is the sett pattern that defines the tartan, not the number of threads.
