Flock Wallpaper Question???
Earlier on in the week, we put an article online about Flock Wallpaper. Loads of people sent texts and emails with the right answer. Did you get it right??? The answer is -
In days gone past when sheep were sheared, farmers kept the fine shavings (not the wool) and sent them to mills that dyed the shavings. They were generally dyed red in colour. Wallpaper was printed using only a glue where the pattern needed to be. The shavings were shaken over the sticky glue using a shaker table. The shavings stuck to the wallpaper only were the glue was. The excess shavings were removed and you were left with a “wooly” pattern were the glue was applied. Because the product came from sheep, it was named Flock Wallpaper. Well done to all who got it right Especially Sarah Wilson from Alderley.
