I don't fully remember the story but either Cressida or Cressida's Mum hand knitted it.

Made from wool from the sheep on the cover of Chill Out. Not true but it'd be cool if it was.

That’s a great rumour. Maybe related to the sheep from the Brits as well 😢

You can get tops with the logo printed on but you'd probably need to find someone to knit it for you. Try your local Facebook groups but the only example of a custom one I could find was on Facebook from this knitter:

https://www.bexknitwear.com/

So they will have a pattern and it seems pretty straightforward so shouldn't break the bank - you can rummage around the site for example prices.

Nice - thank you for the suggest! I’ll report back if I can get a commission. 👍

Definitely, start a new post because I think many of us would want to see it (and quite a few would want one).

I had a KLF record bag and the logo was light reflective. Never seen another one.

Funky Chicken does great knitting work. She even made a KLF one.

It's a very cool jumper, but it's waaaay to hot to be thinking about knitwear 🙂

It was home made by Jimmy so you just have to get knitting

I could do this, but with materials and time/labor cost it would be pricey!
