Alternative chunky cable cardigan to this one, please!

As true proof that I'm becoming middle-aged, this long cabled cardigan caught my eye in DH's Charles Tyrwhitt catalogue. (DH is already Old Fart and likes their shirts.)

I earmarked it in charcoal for Christmas, only to be told by DH that they're out of stock, or possibly getting some sizes in after 21st Dec. What I liked about it was the length, the cables, the ribbed shawl collar and the fact that it was 90% wool and had a very low synthetic content.

Can anyone find me an alternative? It has to be mostly wool/alpaca/non-synthetic, and I like cables. I'm currently Huge with Child but anticipate needing a 16 after the birth for this winter.

TIA Smile

uniqlo?
more expensive but less natural at boden

Uniqlo one is very nice and CHEAP, thanks for spotting it! Neckline not as flattering but I might give it a whirl. Boden costly, as you say, and also out of stock. Clearly should have got my woollies in back in August! Grin

Thanks for responding, was beginning to think I'd been shunned for showing such middle-aged taste! Wink

Maybe he's told you that and has secretly ordered it for you?

ReshapeWhileDamp · 06/12/2010 19:18

Ah, if only! Grin He's not that devious (or organised). We are awaiting our second baby, due at Christmas, and just moved house. If anything, he's more behind with Christmas than I am!

Celtic Sheepskin in stock.

Have had awful quality and terrible service from Woolovers recently (although both good in past).

I did find something possible on woolovers but sad to hear they're not great at customer service. DH has apparently now put the original cardi on backorder for me and might get another one, so we could return one. He's being very good. Grin

Bikerunski, thanks for the Celtic one - much more pricy but it's gorgeous!
