Hush! The Herald angels sing.... counting our way down to a Meryl-y Christmas

[Ellapaella]

Hello everyone
New thread

Yes definitely ella
and it will be in the sale..

Such pretty jumpers, my cc is very happy that I can’t wear them.
I have tried but even with long sleeve tops my skin feels as though it’s on fire.

Ooh, @Ellapaella that fair isle is just gorgeous, I love that colour palette. Just looking at the photo makes me itch though :) :)

It is one reason why I love the AS Witby, as it has all the look of a foll-neck but the open split means it is not crowding my neck. Plus, well, cashmere ;)

Miffy yy the feeling of being constrained it makes me feel even more hot n bothered.

Hope you don’t mind me nipping in. I have only 2 bits of Hush, the Santana (jersey dress ?) which I love and a coat which has been‘borrowed’ by my daughter! But I know lots of you love Toast too. I am wanting to know if anyone has the Wool Dogtooth Coat in a 10 or 12 and if someone could measure it pit to pit as I would like to buy it in the sale when it comes but I have to use mail order and I really don’t want to be paying for returns. Thanks in advance.

@countmeout welcome! We talk about assorts here. Toast has free returns if you can't find out the size. I don't have it I'm afraid. I wonder if the website lists actual measurements? Their customer service is very good, they may measure it for you if no one else on here knows

@Sooverthemill thanks for the welcome- I don’t think they do free returns when it goes into sale - and annoyingly I’ve also bought full price stuff in the last couple of years which came without a return label . I maybe will ask them although I can’t buy until it’s in sale - way out of my budget currently.

hi Count .. Toast are doing free returns on their current sale stuff( I sent something back free last week from the sale ) , and I think they did in the summer sale also..
Sadly I haven't got the coat you mention

I dont have it either. They are being a bit slow to process returns too. I think its probably down to christmas and the post office being slow. I have been waiting a week tomorrow. They are usually very quick.

Love this jumper....

Close up of pattern

It's lovely @Laska2Meryls

@Laska2Meryls that's beautiful. I'm so glad you have given a close up because I'm now 100% certain that would make me so itchy I don't have to even consider buying it any more! Enjoy.

Ive worn it all day and haven't found itoo itchy.. but yes it is a little like mohair ( except it is Alpaca wool) , lovely and light, and soft..

Love that jumper @Laska2Meryls.

@Laska2Meryls I wish I could wear alpaca or mohair but after years of experience I know it would have me drawing blood scratching! You enjoy it though it really is fabulous

Laska tis really lovely, unfortunately I’m the same as Soover
Enjoy it 👍🏼

I’ve been looking for a pink cropped cardigan with full length sleeves. They all seem to have 3/4 length sleeves! Any ideas where I can look?

Pure collection? Jigsaw? Woolovers? Joules? White stuff? Hobbs? Lk Bennett?

Apologies for jumping in without reading the thread but I need to go out and wanted to quickly ask a question. Has anyone bought the Hush Isadora tailored coat? I keep seeing adverts for it and I love it but I want to know is it as nice in real life?

@soups

try Zara - search using 'knit cardigan with buttons' - two great pink shades there, not sure how cropped IRL though.

Pure Collection have a lovely one half price but only tiny sizes left. Will have a look at Zara.

I have the blue version of the Zara cardigan. I like it, but size down. Mine is a small (I’m not) and it’s still quite slouchy.

Has anyone experience of the Stella star jumper shrinking?

boden, no I’ve got a couple and if anything I’d say I’ve found the reverse. Have you had a problem?
