Reputation... is it worth it?

I could find this on it:

I did some research off-forum and found that there is indeed such a thing as teflon-coated wool yarn, so she could be talking about wool or PV (Poly Viscose). I believe that PV is not as expensive as wool, so if she's using that, it could explain her lower price.

I own a PV kilt made of the teflon-coated fiber and I love it... it's durable, washable and lighter so better suited to our warm climate. But... it's not wool and IMHO, if what you're looking for is a traditional 8 yd. kilt, 16 oz. wool is still the best. Also, far more tartans are available in wool than in PV.

Again, I think you'll want to clarify with her exactly which material she'll be using.
