It came out about six feet long, maybe a little bit longer. I've found that about 250-300g of yarn will make a decent sized Clapotis. I can't help you with your choice of yarn though! :) I used five balls of Silky Tweed to make this one, but I didn’t knit it quite as wide as the pattern recommends.

I've been umming and ahhing about making a Claptois but can't make up my mind about whether to make a varigated or a plain one...I guess the answer is to do as you have done and make 2 !

In sorting through some things today I came across some pre-printed dish towels I embroidered as a kid--and I remember the transfers,too--nothing as wonderfully dizzy as the chicken with the soda siphon, though--they were probably meant for cocktail napkins:). That design would inspire me to ditch the paper ones.:) How wonderful!

What treasures. I haven't got any designs for brooches either - might they have been a wartime thing, and so not as fashionable either side of the make-do-and-mend era? Those are fantastic!
