Colour your Xmas jumper

IS THIS a stocking-filler too far? A new book, Christmas Jumper Colouring (£4.99), hopes to tap into the current enthusiasm for festive-themed knitwear and colouring-in books.

The book offers more than 40 Christmas jumper designs to colour in, billing the guileless pursuit as a way to relax and recover from ‘a fraught family gathering or a boozy Christmas party’. It’s the latest twist on the colouring-in craze, which has seen adult colouring books topping bestseller lists around the world.

It remains to be seen whether Christmas jumpers can outsell The Corbyn Colouring Book, inspired by the controversial Labour leader.
