I have for my dad who was impressed with the quality and price.

British wool - bulletproof (jumpers for DH)
Lambswool - goes a bit bobbly
Cashmere merino, very good so far.

I think they have some good basics but the colours aargh, could they not at least peep at the Brora catalogue?

Good quality though, like M&S knitwear used to be in the good ol' days.

I just sent back this cardigan
I thought it may be longer on me as I am only 5'4" but it looks as frumpy on me as it does on the model.
Good quality , lovely feel to the silk/cotton just wish they'd update the style.

Have a woolen zip up cardi for work that is fugly but warm

MIL buys from there and I've never seen her looking bobbly or worn out (sartorially speaking), and as she's old-school thrifty, their stuff must last well else she'd never have gone back. She tends to get the classic, ageless (or should that be timeless?) stuff.

I've just got their catalogue (old skool me, I like a catalogue than browsing online sometimes!)

There look to be some nice items, and there also look like some old bufty items too. A catalogue for both me and my mum! Prices look v reasonable and I thought some of the colour ranges looked okay. Not setting the world on fire, but good basic colours.

There is also a very handy page on looking after wool, how to wash and store it, and a v sensible measuring guide to ensure you order the right size.

So I reckon I will try a couple of items in a few weeks time. Am 32 weeks preg so not the best time to be ordering!!

Apols for a couple of shocking grammar and spelling mistakes. Still sleepy and on the phone....
