Wine chunky-ish knit, have you found a great one?

On the hunt for knitwear in wine/burgundy/plum. I'm v small so anything too chunky or boxy makes me look square. Don't mind about the neckline crew/ roll/ whatever...
Want it to look relaxed but slim if that makes sense... Does it exist? No more than £60ish ( but hopefully less!) if you've seen one please put me out of my misery!!! Thanks :)

Topshpop have 2 exactly as you describe. Both chunky, 1 supersoft. The only thing that put me off is the bobbling potential. Go on-line, they have them. Good luck.

Topshop grunge jumper in aubergine. Just received it today. V small like you so just trying to decide if it works on me. £36

M&S have some nice cashmere knits in burgundy though maybe slightly over budget.

Thanks so much...I had kind of seen the topshop jumpers but walked on by as I have an irrational hatred of anything that looks remotely waffle-knit (all the dodgy boys at school used to wear them as school jumpers.) But it does look lovely in that picture, may venture in and try it on.

Alas, I have decided that the Topshop one does little for my petite frame. Back it goes.

Oh no...that isn't promising for my petite frame either. Any small girls who have found fabulous knitwear please post here!!

I got a cable knit wool mix from Sainsbury a couple of weeks back (IIRC about £18)

In a dark raspberry rather than wine, but very nice and soft.

I think it's the waffle style knit that's not helping. That and the face DH pulled when he saw me in it! Will keep trawling and report back.

Debenham has dome nice knits in their own brand stuff. In purple too. Will try to find a link.

H&m do a nice one. Think it's about £10 with all the discounts.
