Wool vs. Silk

[Mr. MacDougall]

I know they offer tartan yardage in silk, but it's only 3 oz... I hadn't seen a kilt in it. If it's the same fabric that they offer yardage in, I'd be very leary of wearing a kilt out of it, 'cause it's just too light.

Artisan Silks range. Luxuriously smooth pure silks, woven to order by a small specialist weaver in the Scottish borders; perfect for ties, accessories, and a wide range of ladies and gents' garments.

Further investigation on scotweb site yields the above.

I don't know. While the light weight of this fabric wouldn't be suitable for a kilt as we know it, just think how luxurious it would be!
