How do come to the conclusion that the lower edge would be nine meters?
Mine is full circle, and I do not have this problem of --
"If you want more warmth, you would want a 2nd layer, and that mostly around your torse, not many meters of wool falling into lots of folds at the lower end around your ankles (i.e. what you get when you have a full circle). "
If you use a circle with a 1.5m radius, then your paenula will only be 1.5m from neck opening to the lower edge. I cannot envision how this will give you a 9 m long paenula?
