!4 yards. 60 wide? Lord ...make yourself a nice, smart looking redingote you can wear out today [even though it's Victorian]. That might take like 6 yards. Make that houpland if you must with the rest. You have enough to make a period and a modern garment.

I've got 14 yards of plain medium-dark green (somewhere between emerald and forest) wool. It's lovely and soft and about t-shirt weight. I thought I might make cloaks out of it, but it seems a little light. What would you do? Any time, any place... Dawn
