Frankly, this one scunnered me 
Trying to sew charcoal grey wool has been an exercise in frustration; especially since it was a toile (trial piece) for another cloak. Even trying to get photos was an effort.
The wool is beautiful, soft, not Winter weight, but late Spring through to early Autumn. Showerproof, not windproof, but has been boil washed and tumble dried hot and did not shrink, and has safely passed the burn test. It will not flare.
However, it's a soft twill woven wool, and it's been worse than trying to herd cats. I haven't turned up the hem, but it's been securely stitched and will not fray (I'll put in a reel of matching thread for the new owner to stitch it up if desired, but it really doesn't need it). I'll also put in a blanket pin to use as a fastening.
This cloak was a toile to figure out if I could really hide pockets in the front facings. The eventual owner is going to have fun
playing with them
It measures 99cms from the seam at the back neck to the hem. It would fit a very small, slim, adult or a child of about 4'9" / 140cms tall, or so. It flares beautifully when worn, meant to be slightly longer at the back, so that there's no trip up problems, and would be a comfortable over blanket at night.
This one is being sold for the cost of the wool and postage. £18 delivered if paid by paypal or bank transfer.
Thanks for looking
cheers,
Toddy

.......and before anyone says that, "Oh, it's not that bad !", ....40 foot of hem is 40 foot of herringbone stitching that takes me hours to do properly
