Woolly jumpers

You can buy shavers to de-pill wooden jumpers, and cashmere combs for finer fibres. They will increase the life of your jumpers, particularly if you if you hand wash them.

I knit my own, which means I can afford cashmere and other luxury yarns, as I don’t wear acrylic fibres - I don’t like the look of them and they are bad for the environment.

I have tried Woolovers, and like some of the styles, but find them too short, even though I am not long in the body.

Pure Collection also have some nice styles that aren’t made of acrylics. If they are out of budget it’s worth looking on eBay for them, as it’s possible to get nearly new ones very cheaply.

I've given up completely on M&S sweaters because they either bobble the first time you wear them, or they quickly lose their shape. Much better quality for wash and wear, and very reasonably priced is Sainsbury's Tu range. And they got some lovely items in stock for Autumn.

Alpaca is warmer and hard wearing, more so than cashmere. You should find a decent jumper for around £30 if there's a sale on. A couple of those would see you through winter.

Uniqlo fine merino are fabulous quality and great prices .

I’m another Woolovers fan, also Seasalt and Joules (not stripy!) who all do real wool products which still manage not to be itchy.
I am also a total fan of Turtle Doves who make their jumpers, wraps, ponchos and jackets out of recycled cashmere.
Absolutely not cheap (!) so if your find Woolovers pricey you will find these much pricier, but they are ultimate in sustainable clothing. They also do fingerless gloves, neck warmers and cosy bed socks.

I buy my jumpers from House of Bruar they wash well so have them for years so not expensive

I’ve just checked on Woolovers as not heard of them, a tad too expensive for me!

Sainsbury's clothes are good, I think, M & Co, and Asda's, for absolute bargains.

I have a lot of Woolovers jumpers. I'm wearing a cotton/cashmere one at the moment, just right for between-seasons wear. Their prices have gone up and their range has increased since I first started buying them and they have worn well, except for the cardigan that got left out of the big moth-proof bag I keep them in.

Woolovers for me too. They wash well so last quite a long time so not so expensive really.

I buy mine from Woolovers - but I think you would consider them to be expensive.
