    If I'm correct "Strome" is the name that Lochcarron of Scotland give their 16oz wool.

    The only thing I can think of they may differ between that and another weavers 16oz is the type of selvage that the cloth has. I seem to remember a discussion on this a while back concerning the types of selvage...I'll see if I can find it.

    Got it. Hope this helps. http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/d...hlight=selvage

    I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear
