Woollen whack-proofing
Tuesday, November 18th, 2014
Last Saturday saw our strangest request yet. A friendly, hopeful-looking couple came into the shop asking if we had any thick brick-red fabric. ‘Yes, of course’, we’ve got pretty much everything and anything in some combination. Unfortunately the only thing we had that was both thick and red was some lovely boiled wool – our most expensive fabric at £15 per metre.
‘I don’t need much,’ he said. ‘Just enough to put on the wall of the garage to protect my car’s door when I open it.’ Err, o…k. Thankfully for him our policy of cutting lengths down to 10cm meant that he could take just half a metre. £7.50 well spent he said. Can’t wait for this weekend, wonder what we’ll sell then?
