I was taking into account that it was 60 inches wide as opposed to the 54 inches of the standard wool, and also thought that it might be grams per metre....

OK

I admit it.

I guessed.

Not a bad guess though, really.

Having recently begun to work with the real stuff, worsted wool named tartan in heavy weights, it really is a lot easier to work with than any other fabric I have used to make kilts.

I have had a similar experience in the past when I found some proper heavy linen to make a smock rather than the cotton and polycottons I had been working with.

The reason for some ways of doing things suddenly becomes obvious as it is how the fabric works best.
