Hello all, Newbie here & I guess I missed posting my 2 cents on wool, so not being a shy retiringsort, figured I'd do it now. Buy more wool and the price will come down. Buy my Shetland sheep wool and make your kilt yourself and it will quickly become apparent why the cost is so high. I'm in the middle of the US & hay is $8.00 a small bale. Other places are more expensive. The sheep are costly to raise, I have to work full time to afford mine & I only have 27. Some are Soays & it takes a lot of them to make enough wool to make a pair of socks. The processing of wool is costly to have done or a lot of time to do yourself. Then it has to be spun, woven & that's if you don't dye it. Buy more wool! If Prince Charles says so how can it be wrong!
