Best quality/value wool jumpers

[TopCat]

I do like a nice jumper. Back in the day it was Pringle and Aquascutum often worn with a deer stalker hat.
Mark's and Spencer offerings are really thin this year.
What's the best combination of quality and price in your view?

Uniqlo do a nice thick lambswool jumper in loads of different colours for 25 quid.

Last time I was looking at some very nice wooly jumpers in M&S I was put off by the +£70 price.

How much would you expect to pay for a wooly V neck long sleeved jumper?

They are selling quite a few different jumpers at the outlet shop here, so guess it would be the same round the country. Around 20-25 each.

Oh, that sounds much more reasonable.

This site seem to have very good quality vs affordability. Problem is most of their stuff looks like its forces dating atire.

However. What do you think of this? I have never had this type of collar before? It's about a hundred quid.

I'm thinking of contacting the company and asking the weight of the jumper.

[TopCat]

I got this one in heather. Crew Neck Jumpers | Outdoorknitwear.com

40 quid and thick pure wool.

 

[TopCat]

Well the above jumper arrived. It looks like it is made for a little person. Stretchy wool!

 

[TopCat]

So this 100 percent wool. Hardly cashmere. More boar bristle.
Soak in hair conditioner or fabric softener solution? Or...

 

[killer b]

the scratchy wool stays scratchy IME. send it back and get something less scratchy rather than trying to soften it

Vinegar.
Soak it in cold water with a few tablespoons of white vinegar.
Rinse and roll in a towel.
Let it air dry.

Or.

Use conditioner.. ordinary hair conditioner. Soak the jumper in a bucket of tepid water with conditioner. Rinse in cool water. Roll in a towel to remove excess water. Air dry...

Or...

Wear a long sleeved cotton top underneath and over time the jumper will soften with wear and regular washing

It’s time for the faithful old crew-neck to take centre stage. Choose a bold stripe, or experiment with colour combos: lilac and pink look great with brown and khaki

What a bloody awful selection

It's slowly drying (flat). I went for the hair conditioner option. I will report on it's expected transformation into Pashmina.

Hair conditioner also restores shrunk wool to its original size; give the sweater that you or your unthinking friend or partner shrunk a long soak in dilute conditioner and then pull it out to its original shape.
