    I like the inlay in the floor, too. Too bad my furniture covers all by one of the stars.
    The fabric is a lighter weight - maybe around 9 oz - worsted wool. If I recall correctly, the length ended up being about five yards. I'm hoping to find another grey wool like this, but heavier and longer - a tank in that grey would be the ultimate "everything" kilt.

    Amazing for a first effort and without having read Barb's book!

    9 oz does sound a little on the light side but will stand you in good stead when you come to make the tank version.
