Rather, “And the clothing in which there is a stroke of leprosy, whether the stroke is in clothing of wool or in clothing of linen; or in yarn for warp or in yarn for woof, either for linen clothing or for woolen clothing; or in a skin of leather or in any article made of leather.”
This site's exposition
The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in
on Leviticus 13:47-52
The same word is then used of a garment, which has no skin and cannot fall ill. Wool, linen, warp, woof and anything made of skin are shut up seven days and looked at again on the same schedule as a man. A spreading plague in cloth is burnt whole, and Leviticus 14:33-53 will run the procedure again on the stones of a house.

In the warp or woof - A learned man renders it in the outside, or in the inside of it. If the signification of these words be doubtful now, as some of those of the living creatures and precious stones are confessed to be, it is not material to us, this law being abolished; it sufficeth that the Jews understood these things by frequent experience.
