Am toying with buying the deep v neck sweater and would love some reviews please!

I bought one of their cardigans and a v-neck jumper a couple of years ago and still wear them, so they cannot be too bad Grin

I wash them in the washing machine on the 'hand wash' program with a 'delicates' detergent.

Go for it - good value for the money iMO.

I like them. I take a L & am a UK14.

PacificWerewolf · 26/10/2014 08:56

Oh yes, same sizes here as Ric.

I have some of their ultra fine merino which is fab and I have a cashmere mix jumper but none of the pure cashmere. All are lovely though and machine wash on wool cycle fine. The merino is wool marked, not sure about the cashmere. I think I have a small, I'm (usually) an 8-10.

I find them very random. I have two of their cashmere jumpers, both bought a couple of years ago and within weeks of each other; one is still in good condition but the other has turned to fuzz.

I'm tall so prefer to buy the small men's cashmere, much better fit in the sleeves.

MrsGromit · 26/10/2014 11:58

Thanks everyone. Sofa - how tall are you? I am 5'9" and a size 14.

I'm the same height as you, MrsG and a 12 on top, my arms are ridiculously long though!

The cashmere is excellent value for money. I am a small size 10 and wear m in the merino and S in the cashmere - the sizing is not consistent.

I have the XL in the women's crew neck cashmere jumper for added slouch. I'm 12-14 with quite broad shoulders. Lovely jumper, go for it!
