Long wool / cashmere jumpers

Has anyone seen any nice longish jumpers recently? I’m 5ft 10 and looking for something finishing low hip / top thigh. Size 10 or a small. I prefer wool or cashmere and don’t like roll necks. I like the colour palette in Jigsaw and Brora but everything looks really short...

This from Celtic and Co. The best lambswool I have ever found, doesn't bobble, and made in the UK. Worth the ££, same sort of price range as Brora and Jigsaw but far superior quality. I think I got a 10% code recently but didn't keep it, might be worth searching or signing up to their newsletter.

I sized down, I'm a UK10 and usually buy a small in most places but this swamped me. I'm not as tall as you though.

brora have got some longer lengths - I'm 5 ft 9, and this is a great length:

or anything in the waterfall range - agree you have to be careful, some of them are obviously not for the taller of us!

I like that snippity! How baggy is it? I prefer things quite fitted rather than super loose. I also like the Celtic one

i would size down - it's quite baggy, i'm a 12 but I've got it in 8-10. If you're anywhere near a shop, Id be inclined to get them to recommend a few longer things as they do usually have a few things.

I agree celtic is lovely quality too.

Oooh- I like that Celtic one too. Is it itchy? I can normally only do merino wool or cashmere. Thanks!

megan that Celtic one looks gorgeous. What colour did you go for?

I've got the light grey from a few years ago. Am tempted by the cream or beige though!

I don't really find any wool itchy, so I can't advise, plus I always wear a thin long sleeve top under any knit wear as I wash wool as little as possible. It's lambswool, so not super soft like cashmere, or smooth like merino, just good lambswool.
