    And I'm guessing that these are three which better not be made of a wool blend.
    Thaks for that, I was not aware of the Scottish Jewish Community tartan. It's quite a nice design.

    For those interested in the topic, here is a lengthy thread which discussed the two earlier tartans:

    and this thread has a picture of my yarmulke/kippah made from the second tartan:

    Not to rain on a joke, but virgin wool isn't from "virgin" sheep. It simply means the wool is spun and woven for the first time, coming of the sheep. Non-virgin wool uses wool that has been used before (called shoddy). In general virgin wool has the longest staple length, making the resulting material stronger and better than wool made with shoddy.

    The curse of living with a spinner I guess....
