    Stoopid question, so please bear with me.

    >> Length 3.7 Mtrs Double Width = 8 yds Single Width

    This doesn't parse for me. 3.7m is a skosh over 12 yards. What am I missing?

    1 metre = 1.093 yard
    3.7 metre = 4.046 yard

    Because it is double width it'll be juuust over 8 yards single width.

    Just email him - he packages the yardage in kilt lengths for eBay, but he's clearly got a lot of it. Tell him you want 4.5 yards, and I'm sure he'll sell it to you.
