Cherry red jumper

I know it is not peak knitwear buying season but this cold weather has made me yearn for some new jumpers.
I’d like a red fine knit jumper with blue undertones - something cherry red rather than orange red / scarlet. Anyone seen anything?
Merino / lambswool / cashmere preferred.

What size are you? I've got a scoop neck leg of mutton sleeve cashmere one if you want it.

Oooh sounds exciting! I’m a size 10 (very occasionally a 12) on top. I’m also quite tall (5ft 10) so sometimes length of jumpers is an issue.

Sorry about the delay, RL intervened.
I'll measure it in the morning and take a photo so you can see the colour.
I'd say it is a length that works better with skirts than lower rise trousers. I'm 5'9 and a bit.

Morning peony. I've measured and taken photos. It shows a label size of 16, I don't think that is right. It is 18" across the chest and 24" from nape to hem. Possibly to big and too short for you. I can send photos via PM if you make it public.

I got one from the East closing down sale - merino wool, fine knit. Not sure if they might have any left in stores if they are still open.

Try Kettlewell. At least you'll know for sure that it is a cool red before you buy. They have a colour called Raspberry that might work.

So many times I have bought red items from other shops thinking I've found a perfect Winter colour but when it arrives its orangey. Red is hard to gauge on a screen.
