Haha thank you! Definitely gonna be a nice run. I’ll make sure to keep everyone updated as samples come in and hopefully that garners some more interest.
.GotchaCertainly interested, add me please
It is by no means certain. There’s a lot of debate about it and many believe this is the material. As you can see from these examples, the type of wool I’m using in fact does wrinkle and fray.
Can it be folded into a hem and sewn ?
Yup! The idea right now is to use RafalFett’s template, so it’ll be sewn on 3 sides and the bottom with be left unsewn to be frayed
I did exactly what you are doing. For many years. Researched all types of weaves and thicknesses. It’s just not wool. It’s a cool idea to think that the piece came from some obscure and unique history but not everything on the costume has a cool backstory. Sometimes it’s just...
To each his own then man. Tbh, the material you posted doesn’t look any closer to the original as a match. It’s an interest thread and folks will be able to decide if they like the look when the sample arrives. I, like others, own the MoW wool cape, but I felt that it was too much like a fleece blanket for my liking. However a lot of people like it and recommend it. At the end of the day it comes down to preference unless you’ve got the original in hand.
