    I don't know if you are the first to fail but wool is a fabric rather than a plaid until it's dyed and woven.
    And the question was, "what is the name of the plaid fabric?" I think my answer, wool, was correct. Tartan is a type of a weave, it can be made in silk, polyester, etc. The plaid worn for Highland dress is made of wool fabric.

    It should read the other way round. "Some kilts are made from a tartan fabric, what is it called?", to which the answer would be plaid, but not everyone would know that so better still might be "Some kilts are made from a multicoloured, over check design, what is it called?". 'Tartan' is the right answer then.

    Welcome from Lotus Land. I've got your back

    Hi, room2ndfloor, and welcome to X Marks from the bottom end of Africa.
    There have been some posts lately about knitting hose. Hopefully one or more of our members will direct you to them.
    Glad to know you have convinced your sweetheart to wear the kilt.
    I trust we will see pictures of you in tartan too, at some point.
    Keep on knitting!
    Regards,
    Mike
