Jumper 40% viscose - yay or nay

[Canthaveitall]

At last I have found some jumpers I like. For examplethis jum/per but it's 40% viscose and 60% cotton. Will it be OK to wash at 30 and will it end up looking like a rag after a few washes?

I was originally looking for wool jumpers (merino or cashmere) but can't find anything I like or can afford. Warehouse have some more stylish options but they are all heavy on viscose.

Not sure where the random / came from!

You didn't find anything at Uniqlo? Have heard mixed things about viscose knits.

I have no idea. Sorry. But I was shopping today and saw this. £100 for an acrylic jumper! What has the world come to. (I feel like my mum.....)

Uniqlo were OK but just a bit boring. Warehouse seem to have more stylish options.

Viscose is not warm at all. It's used for the drape. It's a very weak fibre and creases like shit. But should be ok in that blend....as long as you don't want warm

neolara I like the way it says 'crafted with a touch of wool'. I expect a whole lot more than a touch of wool for that price .

orangeanddemons Hmmm, me and the iron are not great friends so I am not liking the idea of creasing. Warm would be helpful but as I work in a hot office that is OK. My main concern is it looking tatty after a few washes.

Anyone else?

I have loads of viscose, I like drapey stuff Some of it creases, some hardly at all. All of it creases less than linen or cotton. I don't find it 'goes tatty' (not really sure wat you mean?) but I wash all mine on a 'super sensitive' 20 degree was with a very slow spin. I do find you have to iron it to get the shape and quite often the size back, sometimes it needs ironing while still damp.

I have a few viscose cardigans that were dead cheap but have lasted brilliantly and really kept their colour and shape a hot iron works well!

Gobblers, I always wonder this..where did your name come from?

Hover over my name

I've been hovering....very confused

Bless you

From the film 'Groundhog Day'. I'm a huge Bill Murray fan, plus it looks a bit rude, which is always a bonus

Aaah I see. I've seen Groundhog Day twice too....

Thanks all. I am going to buy two and see how I go. Thanks.
