I find the most interesting stuff by following [twitter.com profile] ebertchicago

"Popularity of woollen coffins soars" in the UK.

Which made me wonder whether if I were dying I would like watching friends knit me a woollen coffin. Or what it would be like to knit my own.

(Although actually I want to be cremated, and it would be a shame to burn up good knitting with my body.)

Looking at the manufacturers' site, it's way more like woollen blanketing - not a knitted product at all! - and tested for weight bearing up to and over 600 pounds. Looks good to me.
