ON A SIMILAR THEME can I just try and save you from the same mistake I have made TWICE now. WOOL LINING IN A WOOL GARMENT Do NOT hem the bottom of the garment when you make it, leave the two pieces of fabric overlocked and not sewn together for the first few weeks / first few wearings. You will get differential stretching/shrinking on the two pieces and one will sag down in a most unsightly manner- I just had to unpick the hem of a cape - in a month I will actually hem it.

@VBirchwood -Its usual coats and capes - outerwear. But over a full-length coat you can get 5cm of differential stretching in the first month... As i discovered to my horror...

@stevezytveld6585 - You are very welcome. Most modern garments usually have about 20% synthetic in them and this is to prevent the stretching / shrinkage problem. 100% wool can change shape a LOT if its like 1m or 1.5 in length - especially if it get rained on.
