Hi,
Wool is very nice to work with. It presses and irons well and the only thing
you should be conserned about is when you steam press seams. Be sure to use
a cloth on top, some times it makes shiny marks on the surface.
My cloak is made of wool flannel, and it is also very light, but if drapes
so well.
Good luck!

Subject: [h-cost] Wool
I'm in the planning stages of what will be my first ever wool garment. Is
there anything I need to know about sewing with it? Do any of you guys
pre-wash wool? It's a gabardine fabric, which I know isn't terribly
period, but it's what I could afford, and I'm making my late-17th-century
pirate coat out of it.
Thanks for any advice you can give me. Being from South Texas originally,
wool was excluded from my sewing education. :)
