A few years ago I got some money fir Christmas, which I spent on a cashmere jumper. Lovely, soft, nice colour and shape, looked expensive (and was, £100 in sale, it was John Lewis)
I loved it so much that the following year DM gave me a similar cashmere jumper for my birthday/Christmas (birthday a few weeks before Christmas) in a different colour. Also lovely. (Jigsaw)
By the following winter both were worn through at the elbows and had tiny random holes in - not all over, but still some. Despite one of them having reinforced elbows! Both really unwearable, elbows too far gone to darn or patch.
DM now on about getting me another for this birthday/Christmas. No!!! Cashmere is lovely and soft, but I don't "get" spending £100s on jumpers that wear out in no time!
I hate synthetic fibres, I find lambswool bobbles (even the Woolovers cashmere/merino blend) and merino is too clingy.
Where can I get hard wearing, natural fibre jumpers from? Do I really have to spend £250 at Brora? Is their cashmere better quality?
