I'm beginning to suspect it was not a tissue.

These are individual white fibres, quite short, but distinct fibres. They are firmly enmeshed in the nap of the fabric.

The effect is not unpleasant - now it has dried, it could be a sort of fancy fabric,

Having shaken it and preened the pleats I seem to have a perfectly acceptable grey kilt - I even have several tee shirts to match.

Yes - deep breaths - I can live with that, there is no damage done to the structure, it just looks different.

All I need to do now is to make a new black kilt.

And apologise for the strange transmogrification of himself's shirts.
