Notes
I wove the coat fabric from 2/8 wool (8-shaft 2 block twill, 16 EPI, PPI) for a waulking (Led by my mentor Norman Kennedy- see photos) and knitted the welts, collar & cuff with Chunky alpaca Boucle' (Plymouth's 'Alpaca Boucle' in dark charcoal- 1x1 rib, picked up around the edges with a sharp crochet hook)- I wear this coat constantly, it is soft & warm & is standing the test of time. There was enough fabric in this 10-yard length to make this coat, 2 vests & 4 hats. (I used several different weft yarns- see above list)
I just have to add, there are several excellent people & very dear friends at the waulking table, it makes this coat extra special to me- I feel like I’m being hugged by all of them every time I wear it!
