Cashmere.png

Snapped on a bus this morning. See the animal there on the left? Does it look like a sheep to you? Does cashmere come from sheep? Would you buy “cashmere” from a manufacturer that doesn’t know what animal produces cashmere? Not even at a 50% discount?

A goat in sheep´s clothes.

“The marketing department explained that goats don´t sell, but sheep do.”

I’ll bet the marketing department can’t tell the sheep from the goats.

We’ve got some coloured extra long alpaca wool for sale if you want something different;)

You’ve reminded me of a photo I took in the summer and never got round to doing anything with – Oats?.

In a adjacent category of marketing department mistakes, McDonald´s Swiss cow with Austrian ear tag is a classic, too:
