Help to find mythical thick blue jumper for DH

31 replies

Reluctantadult · 09/12/2022 13:25

I am trying to find DH a cosy / chunky blue jumper. Size medium. Under £100. That can be machine washed.

Seems like a simple enough request, but I am starting to think it's mythical! All I can find are thin (next), need handwashing (M&S), or cost a bomb! (Toast!)

Please can anyone help, as I am running out of time now and have become jumper blind. 🎅

Superdry do woolly jumpers that can be washed.

ICanHideButICantRun · 09/12/2022 13:28

Is this one any good?

Woolovers do various chunky wool jumpers that machine wash - dh has a few of them.

ValerieDoonican · 09/12/2022 13:35

The aran is £65 for example

Over budget, but if you get desperate...

Have you had a look at Barbour?

Dogsgottabone · 09/12/2022 14:14

But you can machine wash hand-wash jumpers...

I use the Wool wash on my machine to wash merino wool, cashmere and wool and nothings shrunk yet.

COS have some lovely jumpers for men.

Barbour have it ! Ive bought for dh .

'Thick' and 'machine washable' is tricky. Uniqlo 'souffle' ones perhaps?

This beast will be warm, thick and squashy and £100, but 100% wool - you would want to wash it as rarely as possible and on the 'wool' setting.

Bit over budget but it's lovely

DH has a woolly (not sure of wool percentage but quite high) zip-up cardigan which is supposed to be handwash but does ok on machine’s wool wash programme.
It’s also done a dry clean only cashmere sweater successfully.

Proper Guernseys.

I have bought two from this company and they are amazing.

That is very nice!
And it says hand wash (not just dry clean) - IME a machine wool wash is actually better than hand because it’s mostly soaking, minimal agitation & potential stretching, and spinning minimises any distortion compared to wringing/squeezing.

TirisfalPumpkin · 09/12/2022 15:06

Agree - I'm a hand knitter and take 'hand wash only' with a few pinches of salt. Machine wool wash (not delicates - must be the wool programme) hasn't shrunk any of my jumpers yet.

Also would add that every man looks 100% handsomer in a gansey - rugged seafarer energy.

Numsmetbunfight · 09/12/2022 15:09

Woolovers also a favourite here. DH has two of their navy blue arans and trey machine wash on wool cycle fine.

LaTangerina · 09/12/2022 15:20

Dunnes stores are always good quality. This is lambswool & machine washable.

I love Woollovers too. Absolutely loads of lovely jumpers on there

butteriesplease · 09/12/2022 16:10

whatyou want can be found at Weirdfish. I have got my husband one! do check, as some things (maybe more the womens) are handwash for some reason.
