Spellchecking Is Never Enough, # 140

From a home-goods catalogue:

Link: Lakeland, ‘Extendable Cob Web [sic] Duster’

Cob web but not Lake land or extend able? It’s also worth observing that the descriptor in the text should be treated as a generic singular (goat’s hair) and, since it’s used adjectivally, hyphenated (goat’s-hair).
cob web; goats’ hair duster
