    Acrylic wool? From acrylic sheep, I presume?

    I think I've figured out where marbles come from.


    BTW, I've got a SWK and I'm very happy with it. Highly recommended. Go for the HI's kilt if your on the fence. If your wife resists, not much of a loss. If she likes it, buy other kilts, and wear the HI kilt for house work, chores, painting, emergency plumbing, and the like.

    My casual kilt i just bought off EBay was from Highland Inspirations. If you read my introductory thread i yak on about it a bit. Very prompt service. Pretty happy with it, even though i havent worn it yet because i bought it two sizes too small so i would have to lose weight to wear the thing LOL Maybe i should be posting in the diet thread

    I plan on buying one of the Irish kilts from them in a few weeks.

    You know I once had a sweater...this is years ago now, that I liked very much. It was a grey, sleeveless, cable sweater-vest. On the inside of the label, it told me what the sweater was made of, and to this day, I remember it.

    Wool is a wonderful fabric.

    It is expensive.

    It requires special care.

    There are other fabrics available.

    These other fabrics do not require special care.

    Just what is so special about wool?
