Fool's famously colourful woolen knitwear is both designed and manufactured in Australia- the only way we'll have it at LUPA! Pay us a visit to try and buy Fool's 2012 Winter collection. It's as fabulous as ever.
OLD SCHOOL SOLUTION
Dratted winter!
Here in the hot pink tropical cave we are keeping nice and warm.
I did take some beautiful photos this morning of a selection of woollen jumpers and brilliant coloured scarves that we have in the shop, but I can't get the whatsit to load onto the thingummy.
So while I struggle with machines of the 21st century I thought I'd take it back to the old school 19th century with a wool wash recipe made from ingredients that can be found in the supermarket -
WOOL WASH
2 cups of soap flakes or finely grated pure soap
Half a cup of methylated spirits
25ml eucalyptus and/or lavender oil
Have fun, be warm and bright.
