Caution new kilt buyers: Beware 100% acrylic wool?

[Carolina Kiltman]

I assume those plastic sheep are from the same family of animals that produce the Naugahyde.

Only very distantly. The Acrylic sheep were first bred in Japan, and then imported into Scotland to control the infestation of plastic heather. The Nauga comes from Wisconsin, USA, and whilst has hooves, is really more porcine than ovine. (tongue firmly in cheek)

On a slightly more serious note, when "virgin" is used before the fibre on a tag, it means that it is not recycled from previously made cloth.

I saw a plastic sheep once... It was inflatable...

Ooh! The rotter - he told me that American boy from Denver was JUST a good friend!

And he didn't pay for the repairs to my wellingtons either.

Cheers, Graham.
