Woolovers

[Olddear]

Just got this catalogue thro' the post. Some nice things and not expensive, just wondered if it's good quality. Any one tried it?

Yup, quality good.. ordered a few jumpers for family gifts etc..

I was looking on Woolovers too. I was confused by the different kinds of wool though.

Thanks for your help! Will order a couple of things I like....

Very good quality.

What is the sizing like - I have heard that things tend to come up quite big/boxy on the waist - is that true?

Each item had a size chat which tells you exactly the measurements of sleeves, length etc, also warns you if an item comes up big or small.

Depends on the item re sizing. I am a size 8 normally and have a short sleeved silk cardigan in an M which fits just right with a camisole underneath without looking too fitted or loose. I have a tank top in an S which is about right when I wear a blouse underneath it. I have a cashmere/ merino v neck jumper in an s and that is about right too. Been lucky with sizing so far.

I've bought quite a bit, happy so far especially with merino/cashmere mix. Do read the size guide for each product very carefully. Unisex products are big.

Ah, super - thanks!

The silk and cotton combo is perfect for summer.

I've got a few cardigans from Woolovers - both the silk/cotton and cashmere/merino. I think they are very good quality for the price. However, their colour range leaves a lot to be desired - I long for the beautiful subtle colours of Brora.

Yes a lot of the colors are very pink-based. But I think it is improving!

I have a few Woolovers jumpers.
They are great value for cashmere.

You might also want to invest in a bobble buster though. My Woolovers jumpers were getting really bobbly after a few months wear and I was considering chucking them out.

Then I got my bobble buster from Lakeland and now they are all lovely and new looking again!

They do actually say they will get bobbly after the first wash and you need to pick them off or use a bobble buster then it'll be fine.

They also have a 3 month return policy iirc which is fantastic.

The cashmere/ merino is worth while but the silk/cotton mix, in my experience, look tatty and faded quickly despite following washing instructions and using the right detergent.
