Easy care jumpers that look nice

Is this an impossible dream?

I want warm jumpers for winter, that I can shove in the washing machine and not have to iron and still look good.

I will need a generous size and not too long, or I will look stupid.

Watching with interest....I have the same problem. Easy care ones seem to manmade. Suggestions on other thread were for woolovers ( I have a cardie from there) as good quality and all washable

I find that merino knits are actually a lot easier to care for than acrylic as they rarely need ironing after a wash. Acrylic is vile IMO anyway, and viscose blends always seem to fade and lose shape after a while.

I have an assortment of bargains from TK Maxx & H&M together with more expensive Jaeger and Vanessa Bruno and all wash just as well as each other. Thoroughly recommend Deane & White merino knits which you will find in TK Maxx (online if you can't be bothered with the store).

I have lots of cashmere jumpers that i find are easy care.I wash them in the machine on a delicate wash at 30 degrees.Then pop in the tumble dryer for 5 minutes to fluff up and then place on a coat hanger.Do not dry though for more than 5 minutes or it will shrink.I have even done this with expensive pashminas and they've been fine.Disclaimer-I presume this would work on Merino too but i havn't tried yet.
