why is the price of wool going to skyrocket?

Short version: the cost of raw wool has recently increased dramatically due to a combination of increased demand (from the Chinese market) and decreased supply (fewer sheep being raised for wool in the major wool producing countries, such as Australia and New Zealand).

The woolen mills in Scotland currently are producing off supplies of wool previously purchased but those will soon run out, and the mills will have to purchase their yarns at much higher prices, the inevitable result being that prices of woolen goods for the consumer will soon increase.

This means anything made from tartan, tweed, and yes even the cost of your woolen kilt hose is predicted to go up.

Shop now folks.
