K&T is not uninsulated.

Can confirm. My previous house had some still in service for some general hallway lighting and other light loads. It was not jacketed (like modern non-metallic cable is), but it was definitely insulated.

I misspoke. The K&T I had in my house had gaps in the loom because it failed. You also can’t insulate around it.
