In search of a pine green sweater

Wondering if anyone could help me with this, although I think I may have to wait until A/W at this stage!

DP shrank my favourite sweater, which was a fitted, subtly glittery knit from COS in a pine green/forest green shade. I think the colour was the same as this, but the hemline on this version is too drapey for me.

That said, I'll probably end up getting it at some point, since I haven't managed to find a replacement. Before I do - have any of you seen anything similar? It doesn't need to be toooo fitted (or glittery), but it must have full-length sleeves. Thanks!

Kettlewell Colours or Woolovers ?

Gosh THANK you FauxFox for that, and well done!
Love the Whistles but unfortunately it's the wrong shade of green. The La Redoute deep green is definitely along the right tracks, colour-wise, so am going to look at those more closely. Great prices!

If you're a sixteen and can afford £149 this one from Brora is nice.

How about the Annie sparkle in a deep olive in Whistles. I have the navy and it wears and washes beautifully although I did get a hole in the sleeve on the first wearing!

In Brora link you have to click on the 'pine' option.

Thank you LeoandBoo, the Brora looks lovely and soft but a 16 would be too big on me. I do love the Whistles Annie sparkle, and am tempted by the navy - but olive green is just so awful on me, you wouldn't believe! I need a green with plenty of 'blue' in it if that makes sense.
