Wool tartan is a woven fabric made from wool fibers that features a repeating pattern of colored stripes and checks, traditionally associated with Scottish kilts. It is created using a specific weaving process that interlaces dyed yarns to produce a distinct pattern, known as a sett, which is repeated across the fabric. Wool tartan is valued for its durability, natural structure, and ability to hold pleats, making it the standard material for traditional kilts. It also provides a distinctive look and texture, with variations in weight and finish affecting how the kilt drapes and feels when worn.
