Following on from this thread several members have expressed an interest in a group buy of Italian Wool Blankets.
Full details can be found at www.varusteleka.fi
These are being sold for 5 Euros - roughly 4.40 GBP
Apparently Italian blankets are renowned for their heavy moth-proof treatment and come with the following disclaimer - their words not mine:
The company state that delivery is 18 Euros (~16 GBP). I have contacted them and they are happy to honour that price regardless of the size of order. Obviously there will be an additional cost for me to redistribute them once they reach the UK which will be in the region of £8. Now, for roughly £15 pounds you can get some really good blankets in the UK so this offer is probably only makes sense if you want to order several blankets. I will be attending this year's Bushmoot so if you are prepared to wait until then or are prepared to collect from Sheffield then this is a great opportunity to pick up a real (but smelly) bargain.
Closing date is midnight Saturday (16 July) or once we reach 30 units - which ever comes first. Once we have all the expressions of interest I'll start collecting payments and place the order.
If you are interested then please add to the list below. It would also help if indicate how you want to receive them: Collect from Sheffield, Collect at BushMoot, Post to a UK address

."Please note: If the last batch of these smelled, then you're in for a whole new world of sh** with this one; the smell is horrendous. These are encrusted in a layer of naphtalene crystals, and it will take some serious airing out, shaking out and general violence to get rid of the intense smell of old loft. Spontaneous nosebleeds, nausea and confusion might ensue. You have been warned!"
