What fabric do you wear in winter except Wool ?

[Beautydiva]

Wool makes me itch so can't wear it. Even if it's a slight percentage .

If you can't wear the wool either what do you wear then ?

Cashmere

I find it really warm so I wear it over a very think cotton t shirt or vest

Wow that's quick thanks

I've never worn Cashmere , wondering if it feels like wool ( makes me itch ? )

Cashmere, merino and lambs wool - I have a massive issue with synthetic materials and am not a massive fan of itchy wool.

I wear wool but not next to my skin. I usually wear a long sleeved cotton top underneath.

I can't wear wool either, makes me itch too, but I do have some cashmere jumpers.
They aren't nearly so itchy, but I do have to wear them over a long sleeved top, I can't have them against my skin.
I have a fabulous silk top that is really thin and really warm, and I use that as a base layer on really cold days.

Yes to a silk or cotton underlayer. I love wool and cashmere but couldn't wear them next to my skin (well, one or two of the best cashmeres I could, but still prefer a l/s top underneath). I thought everyone did this, but reading online reviews of jumpers etc, it seems people do buy woolly jumpers and wear them with nothing underneath

I bought a simple grey long sleeved top made out of bamboo from Celtic Company last year or year before, its really good, and then I wear cashmere cardy or jumper. I find lambswool etc too itchy, I need softness!

Freezing days I have a silk thermal long sleeve, that I have had for 20+ years, its brilliant. Great investment.

Wool is too hot for me, as well as itchy, so I stick to cotton mainly, same as the rest of the year, wool makes me itch even if it is layered over something. I do have a few fine knit acrylic jumper dresses which are nice too, I don't have a blanket dislike of synthetics, some are good, some are bad.

I've never tried cashmere as I think that would be too hot too and it may still make me itch.

I wear these under my jumpers in the winter, I'm tall and find them a good length for layering.

I can never wear wool or even cashmere jumpers next to my skin as they itch, though maybe the very expensive cashmere wouldn't.

I wear as much cotton as possible but it's getting harder and harder to find.

I find wool too warm.

Cashmere and merino. Silk or cotton for layers.

Another vote for cotton top underneath wool. If you don't wear something underneath surely you're forever washing the expensive jumpers and shortening their life?

John lewis silk thermals

Another vote for M&S long sleeve cotton t shirt and on top cashmere. I like their men's cashmere sweaters. My winter uniform??

Joules make bamboo socks. DH and Ds1 Both have some. Keep the feet warm in winter and cool in summer. They both like them. They're long though, almost mid calf, in a range of patterns.

Sheepskin is great. I love my uggs.

I prefer cotton or thin merino jumpers. Cashmere is far too hot for me and I'm cold blooded!

Wool makes me itch too, think I've make a mistake buying my girls winter hats/scarfs/gloves with wool in them aswell and they both immediately said they were itchy...

Never tried cashmere, I doubt the decent stuff is within my rather small budget so i'm happy with synthetics, generally from h&m or new look!

Out of interest, can anyone link to the tops you wear under stuff? I'm considering whether to go for thermal tops or just plain cotton ones.

Land's End silk vests. Buy when there's a sale or a code flying around. Seriously insulating and lovely and smooth. Best thing I bought last winter. Here. They usually discount the pink/blue/purple etc (not the black and white so much) to about 25.

Why the womens vests are called 'feminine' I don't know. I must check to see if the men's version is called 'masculine'.

Silk or cotton. Lightweight wools over them. Long sleeve t-shirts are my friend in winter.

Cotton layers.

And if I do wear wool, either merino or UK grown Blue Faced Leicester.

Uniqlo Heat tech thermal tops under everything - really warm but lighter feeling than cotton.

Most of my knitwear is a mix of different fibres, I have a lot of jumpers from White Stuff that have some wool in them but other things too and they are really soft and not itchy. Also cashmere and merino.

What a shame , I lost my own thread!

I liked M&S cashmere range didn't try it as it was so expensive ££
