Looks to low for a flexi also

What is it? Looks like a soft Cheviot

It’s a Norwegian white but may have a bit of Cheviot blood in the mix too

Bugger, that is cheap, trouble is I only need 1 or 2 every whip and while, I suppose they will keep if kept in the dry / good storage ... , well heiniger ones seems to anyway.

Anyone still use copy DeX? Or the special glue :unsure:
