That's actually less of a problem with a small loom. a "kilting" selvedge is just a pretty standard shuttle loom selvedge. Shuttle looms are slow (particularly at wider widths), which is why rapier and jet looms have supplanted them outside of specialty markets. But they're simple and reliable. The only tricky part of the kilting selvedge is the passing along of threads for stripes, but even that is a standard practice in fancier cloths.

I'd agree with talking to the spinners. They know who buys their product, after all.
