V.M.
Mostly free - odd bits, have tried to remove the bits such as round the neck where bits accumulate.
Notes
There are natural variations in the staple length - there are some parts over the back that are quite short, although most is over 5cm. It may also look disppointingly grey, but does wash to a lovely creamy white.
