Now I am confused! Aren't all traditional kilts made from wool that has been worsted?
From britannica.com: "Wool yarn made of long-staple fibres that have been combed to remove undesirable short fibres and make them lie parallel. In the spinning operation, which imparts the necessary twist to hold the fibres together, worsted yarns are more tightly twisted than are the bulkier woolen yarns."
