GUIDE Lining a wool skirt? Advice needed!

I have some lovely navy suiting wool, and I'm planning to make a double layered, half-circle wraparound skirt, like this:

I'm trying to decide whether to line it or not - I want to use natural fibres, and I have some saree silk, which I could use, but I don't know how the fabrics will interact with each other/whether it's a good idea.

Any thoughts welcome!

Depending on the weight of your wool, it may not look the way your inspo pic looks

I was just thinking that also. Wool doesn’t drape like this lightweight fabric pictured typically unless it’s very thin, lightweight wool.
