a bolt of very beautiful handloomed tweed…She had needed only a few metres,but she had bought the entire bolt to prevent it from falling into ignoble hands…
A note: Take this to Peter Craven of 34, Savile Row. The English understand wool.

Read this micro-short novel last night, such an interesting story. I can't tell you anything about it because if I do, it will all be spoilers. Worth a read if you fancy a palette cleanser. #books #reading #amreading.#theenglishunderstandwool

Two words to describe this novella: amusing and acerbic. By sheer coincidence, it is also the second book I have read this year to feature handloomed Scottish tweed.
