to choose from

says Lucky, the Lister Lamb

Vivid and alive-iar brillant colours to make your fingers Itch to knit. Who can give you such a wonderful choice? Only Lister's Lavenda, the pure English botany wool with the widest, loveliest colour range of all.

Soft, fleccy, infinitely kind... even to the youngert, senderer skin, Lister's Lavenda gives you the unequalled luxury and warmth of imported English wool.

Extravagant? No, the Lavenda woolly you kalt yourself costs no more than an ordinary shop-bought jumper. And Just look at the difference! Lavenda washes and wears so willingly, too.

Next time you're shopping for wool, ask to see the woo- derful colour range in soft Lister's Lavenda.
