Wool Everywhere!

I also have a wool allergy, but only mild.
Last week I bought 3 jumpers from Roman. I am very pleased with them.

Didn't find much in Edinburgh Flappergirl . Ended up with a jumper from M&, not v neck but it's viscose! This jumper from M&Co has popped up on my Newsfeed. Not the most exciting but lots of colours. www.mandco.com/mco-purple-long-sleeve-v-neck-knitted-jumper-p

Jumper from M&S

It comes up big so I had to size down.
Saw lots of lovely colourful knitwear but mostly in scratchy materials grrr!

Have you tried Bonmarche, they have lots of non wool jumpers also mail order catalogues like JDWilliams, Chums, Damart and Cotton Traders, they all sell non wool jumpers.

I'm off to Edinburgh for a browse around the shops. If I find suitable knitwear I'll let you know!

Good luck Claretjan. If you find a stash of attractive, V neck viscose jumpers please let me know! Meanwhile I've checked out the Roman website and have ordered 3 jumpers, they tick the right boxes so fingers crossed.

Please have a look at Cotton Traders - their "Cutest Cable" knitwear ( 50% Viscose 28% Polyester 22% Polyamide). Unbelievably soft and warm - so much so I've got 3 of the
jumpers. They also come in cardigans and tunics.

I've just bought a viscose jumper from Roman which feels comfortable.
To be extra awkward I can't wear anything high necked either. They make me feel claustrophobic and don't suit me anyway. Oh, and being small I don't suit anything chunky. I hate winter clothes! Rant over!

Oh Claretjan, I'm just the same. I'm small but fairly well endowed. I can't stand high necks and they don't suit me either. V necks are my favourite. But trying to find non woollen jumpers with V necks is a seemingly impossible task.

Wool doesn't make me itch, but sweat profusely, no matter how fine it is. It has come on gradually since I had my children 40-odd years ago. Even a woollen scarf is too much for me.

Most of the regular stores have a good selection of non-wool jumpers.

Me too - so I only buy acrylics.

Sorry, around is AVOID. lol. My tablet just changes everything.

I have to wear natural fibres, around anything acrylic, viscose like the plague. I buy most from Lands End, they have just about everything, I buy winter in summer and summer in winter in the sales. They're impressive. Also. Cotton Traders. Go online, Lands End UK. Brilliant imo.

Thanks for all the links. Mine has just developed over the last few years, so out go all my woollies. Even some of the acrylic ones have a small percentage of wool, and itch like mad.

Look at the Uniqlo website… lots of non woolly cozy sweaters here…

Box2 do cotton & acrylic cardigans and jumpers as I can’t wear wool and wear only their jumpers.

Last year I bought some jumpers from F&F Tesco which were made from recycled plastic bottles, there are plenty of companies sell these. I've found mine so soft and comfortable causing no irritation whatsoever.

Mountain warehouse do fleece jumpers , they are made from recycled plastic bottles. I buy them for husband and father in law. They are casual and in a lot of colours. Very easy to care for , wash then they dry quickly unlike a real wool jumper.

Can you knit? There are some gorgeous yarns to be had, e.g silk/cotton or silk/cashmere mixes and interesting patterns.
I do like wool, but anything interesting is either very expensive or poor quality (I'm looking at you Seasalt).
So I knit while watching TV and make about 2 a year, one for me one for my daughter.

My favourite shop, Fat Face, has lovely cotton jumpers

I only recently discovered the beauty, comfort and warmth of cashmere. I would have previously always had a collared cotton top under any wool item. Ah but expensive!

Sweatshirts? They’re all cotton and some have fleecy linings. Definitely not the grandma look.

I don’t have a wool allergy but it can make me itch. I recall miserable school days wearing an itchy wool gym slip and woollen socks.

I’ve discovered that I can wear cashmere but otherwise I like cotton. Cotton Traders do cotton jumpers and do check out men’s wear sections. I’ve got some men’s cotton sweaters from M&S, which I like because they’re longer and often have nicer colours than ladies and you can tumble dry them.

I’m sensitive to wool too, and itch even with cotton shirts underneath. Practically every jumper I see that I like has at least some wool or cashmere in it.
M&S are quite good for cotton or viscose jumpers and this year I bought some nice jumpers from Fatface.
