Fao - The Km Players

[seekeerz]

Here are today's shaded clues for you -

1d Periodical such as The Beano, Bunty, The Dandy, Eagle, Jackie, or Jinty [5]

8d Cylinder for curling a lock of hair [6]

12d Something a weaver does to raw fibres during the process of carding [4]

55d Novelist who wrote the Prime of Miss Jean Brodie [?]


Sorry unable to put the number of letters required for 55d ...has the Telegraph made the crossword wider ? ....I'm missing the numbering on the left hand side and the last row for letters on the right ....makes things a bit tricky :((

Comic

Roller

Comb

Spark

[Mamyalynne]

12 could be Spin but that's normally done after carding.

[seekeerz]

[tonyav]

Blimey has my mental calendar gone wrong.

Well done, Mamya. Hope it wasn't to hot for you down under ( Christmas day ), Steff.

[Mamyalynne]

Comb will be right, I shouldn't have doubted myself - Mum and Gran were card frame tenters (tenders).

[seekeerz]

[tonyav]

Good god, that's seriously hot, Steff.
