Overview

Take a trip into the kaleidoscopic world of 1960s fashion, where poodles and their glamorous owners sport matching outfits. Fashion conscious Judy faces a dilemma as her housekeeping money just won't stretch to buy the clothes she wants – and her social calendar is filling up fast. A trip to John Lewis's wool department yields a solution – for both her wardrobe and her marriage.

As well as fulfilling the sponsor's remit to promote the use of wool, this inventive 1960s curio conveys something of the contemporary styles and attitudes. It also offers some knitting tips, should you wish to hone your skills.
