Scaffolding gets a woolly make-over
Jody Long, managing director of Yarn-Tastic in Rowlands Road, said: “Lots of people have just said wow, that is amazing. It’s brightened up Rowlands Road and people have even stopped their cars to take pictures.”
He said that the idea came to him as he had lots of neon yarn and thought it would be perfect for brightening up the scaffolding outside his property.

Martin Bryant, a director of global scaffolding, said: “I thought maybe he was trying to pull the wool over my eyes and I thought he was trying to spin me the yarn.
“It’s fantastic, it’s brilliant. I thought he did a really good job. I have got no problem at all with it.
“People enjoy it and it brightens up the scaffolding.”
Jody said Martin and his team had been fantastic and might even keep the wool on the scaffolding.
Jody is currently preparing for National Wool week runs from October 14-20.
He said: “We have got lots going on including 20 per cent off all week.”
