    I'd recommend that you email to Scotweb's help address. Their customer service is usually terrific.

    Disclaimer: I am not a fabric expert (and Steve is). Knowing that you're looking at Scotweb, I'd be surprised if most of those fabrics were not worsted. I don't recall seeing the "spinning method" listed before.

    The heavyweights are from Lochcarron (Strome) and Marton Mills (Jura). I've ordered both of those in the past, and I'm pretty sure they are/were worsted. Both are really nice fabric.

    Clicking on More info... the descriptions of the Lochcarron fabrics say "worsted wool."

    If you don't recognize them by sight, Lochcarron's fabrics are Strome, Braeriach , and Reiver (heavy, medium, and light weight). Marton's are Jura and Bute (also the polyviscose Balmoral). Hope this helps!
