I we must not forget the mental suffering the poor sheep have to endure when they're shorn.

Can't be all that much different than me getting what little hair I have on my heady anyway cut by the barber.

Dr. Evil seemed to approve of being ritualistically shorn by a Zoroastrian named Vilma

Of course he may not be the best example here

What you guys need is one of them new genetic spider-sheep clones that spinns the yarn right out of the back end.

While we're on the subject, I want to learn magic. That way, I will have all the fabric I want via magic, and I can have Matt Newsome make me a lot of kilts, and pay him with MagicBucks™.

Perfect.

Ok, here's how you do it. You put on your grass kilt, just the grass kilt, then you leap back and forth over the candle leaving a trail of ash. You'll want to go out side at this point. Rais your hands and arms to the sky and wait until the Great Spirit drops the sack of money on your head. It works every time. Magic is all in your mind, you have know idea how big your mind really is.

Okay, reviving this for a few...

To-day I received a swatch of PV from Rocky - Thanks again, Rocky - and well, I love it. The material seems very nice to me. I think it's perfect for the climate I live in (where the weather changes every 15 minutes). So yeah, while wool's great, I've also become a big fan of PV.

Cheers.

Well, it looks like I've been away from this thread for a while. Rocky, I want to apologize ahead of time, but what is a SASE that you keep asking for? I'd love to get a swatch of the US Army tartan, but I don't know what the SASE is. Thanks for all your responses. This forum has been great. By the way, anyone know what would happen if I made a kilt out of a pair of wool army blankets?
