Thanks Matt and to add, this is what Kathy Lare said A Strome tartan is woven with a slightly different loom which adds a twist to the wool which makes it more durable, therefore a bit more expensive. It is carried by Lochcarron who name the weights of their wools as 16 oz. Strome, 13 oz. Braeriach, 11 oz. Reiver. The Scottish mills all carry fine wools. I had asked Kathy the same question. Hope she doesn't mind me putting it on here. Thanks all of you for
the help...
