Where will I find nice merino sweaters?

... that aren't 70% viscose! Gap are usually a good bet but their merino was very thin last year, maybe just too fine. Boden have nothing. Uniqlo have some but colours a bit meh. TK Max - very little in my size. HoF - loads of sweaters but anything I like has quite a bit of viscose in it.

Any ideas ladies?

Try Woolovers - catalogue not very stylish but their products are great value and I've not been disappointed with the cardigan and jumper I've bought from there.

Uniqlo have merino jumpers. Kettlewell colours do too, you can usefully search for fabric.

Uniqlo. The absolute best.

OP has already said she's tried Uniqlo...

Uniqlo's colours are crap this year, aren't they? I like woolovers. Also, if you're not after fitted, h&m do good merino men's jumpers.

Woolovers, the quality is good but the pics will not inspire you.

Slight de-rail, but I hope you Uniqlo aficionados might be able to help, I find their sizing really confusing.

I'm a UK 12-14, and I'd like a relaxed, but not overly baggy jumper, what size would you recommend?

Thanks in advance. And thanks Itsrain this thread is super useful.

king medium to large but depends on the style a bit.

I'm an 8-10 and usually get a S from Uniqlo.

Check the men's. Both Gap and M and S do merino much better in the men's departments

Arket have a range of merino sweaters.

Thanks polly - I'll go for a Large, it gives me scope to shrink it a bit.

I think I might be the only 12-14 left in the entire universe, it used to be decidedly average, but now it seems that everyone else is either size 10 or smaller, or size 16 or bigger.

Wow ... thank you for so many recommendations! Shall have a look at Woolovers and Kettlewell. Uniqlo's colours are just a bit drab but maybe I'll order the pale grey for something neutral. Off for an online browse now.
