Does the mill have an mininal yardage requirement? I looked them up, and yes - interesting and good that they are holding up the tradition. (Lovely pattern.)

@@DavA-DM um, you don't seriously believe that the Imperial system was invented in the US? As a Canadian I tend to use several modes: I measure fuel in litres but I drink beer in pints, I measure distance in Km (when I'm not measuring it in 'time' - downtown is 20 minutes away - ) but I measure my waist in inches, I buy concrete mix in Kg but I measure flour in pounds, I measure black powder in 'grains' but I measure the distance to the target in metres....and when I'm out in the bay I measure in Nautical Miles!
@@robertmacdonaldbespokekilt3063 Hush - you aren't dealing with one of those Yanks without a decent education. ;) No, I was speaking of the States general disregard for the metric system. And - yes, always interested to convert from one to other measurement system. Mother was a professional seamstress, and so I have had some experience. :) I even had ancestors who stayed British with that - well 'thing' several years ago... So - kind-a atypical.
oh come on - 13 was seen as an auspicious number by the ancients - it was the ill-educated adherents of a certain modern belief that flipped that particular script!

I wanted to give it a 👍(like) but that would have been 'like' 12 + 1 and I can't do that.
14 that's much better🙂
