Further details
Preferring crackpot theories to common sense, Maven is convinced that the island is going to be overthrown by a group of subversive residents communicating via coded textile messaging. His evidence? The number of islanders wearing novelty knitwear.
Maven is determined to unravel the wool-based terrorist plot and, staying one step ahead of made-up nemesis The Speckled Pom-Pom, issues a Jinsy-wide jumper ban, leading to a tense encounter with Mr Lovely of Mr Lovely's Lovely Jumper Shop.
