As a keen walker, I'm used to gear being made from ever more hi-tec materials. And as a spinner of wool I was intrigued by a new smart material called Smartwool. It turns out to be merino wool, a particularly fine wool, but wool straight off sheep nonetheless. So today's cartoon is straight from life - manufacturers are marketing wool as as an even smarter new alternative to the smart new man-made materials they'd been using before. As if we haven't been spinning wool for thousands of years. And Crow - a rumour monger? Surely not.
Jigsaw - online
What's more fun than a cuddle with a woolly critter?
Try completing a puzzle online - they have just the right number of pieces for a coffee-break challenge and you gradually reveal the cartoon.
If you like Yvonne then the good news is that you can support the author, buy the image to keep and avail yourself of some really useful kit, such as mugs, bags, coasters, mouse mats, postcards, greetings cards, even posters and prints.
