Shopping for My first Kilt

[Steve Ashton]

Please note that the kilts that are listed as "Heavy Weight P/V" are more than likely acrylic.

P/V stands for Polyester/Viscose with Viscose being the British term for Rayon. So P/V is a Poly/Rayon blend. The only weaver I know of doing kilt quality P/V weaves this in one weight. 12oz per linear yard double-width.

To make an 8 yard kilt the maker starts with four yards of double-width fabric. So an 8 yard P/V kilt will weigh right about 48oz or 3 pounds.
