Has anyone bought any mostly wool or cashmere knitwear recently?

[Stumpedasatree]

Just looking for something nice in the sales to replace some of my more acrylic jumpers.

Tk maxx has some nice ones, menswear selection far better than the ones for women which are all quite short.

Zara. Mango. Usually 30% wool or cashmere is enough for me to feel the difference in quality.
100% wool can actually feel a bit ...'tough'.

Uniqlo cashmere is nice and wears well for the price.

M&S for merino wool or lambs wool

Woolovers always has good offers on (even outside of the usual sales times) and I've found them good value for money. I like their merino and cashmere mix in particular.

Nearly New Cashmere - really good quality at low prices.

M & S are pretty good and machine washable too.

I got a lovely 80% lambswool jumper from M&S in the sale, navy with little tiny coloured flecks. I don't think I've taken it off since. It's 20% polyamide which I think is why it's a) machine washable and b) not hideously scratchy.

Celtic & Co

Yes, cashmere from BrandAlley

Also check out the sales at Pure Collection and Denner

Charity shops and Ebay are full of the stuff, I am obsessed with pure wool jumpers and cashmere coats!

Be very careful if buying second hand wool and cashmere, I imported clothes moths that way!! Keep anything you buy second hand in the freezer for a while before wearing to kill eggs.

Nearly New Cashmere - really good quality at low prices.

I second this, good customer service too (And the models are the right size for the item)

www.marksandspencer.com/pure-cashmere-round-neck-jumper/p/clp22491941?color=PETALPINK#intid=prodColourId-60529328 Yes this.

House of Bruar have some lovely cashmere, merino and lambswool in a huge range of styles and colours.

DH bought me a lovely cashmere jumper from Next. It's nicely thick and warm. Washes well. I also have one from La Redoute that washes well. DH likes the cashmere from Uniqlo and M&S but I found the Uniqlo ones too short and M&S a bit itchy.

I have this and it's lovely (but yes, as above poster mentions, quite short but that works for me as I'm short): www.uniqlo.com/uk/en/product/women-100pct-premium-lambswool-turtleneck-jumper-439997COL01SMA004000.html?gclid=CjwKCAiA55mPBhBOEiwANmzoQun6f9wiKjwmgC6TYgeN217Nn4Th1k3ZeHBYmuh6nhpaMUBq-6vt2xoCipgQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

H&M cashmere is good.

I also buy secondhand (and have also imported clothes moths - I'm a lot more careful now!) but have had some beautiful jumpers for very low prices.

Landsend is lovely. Also nearly new cashmere.

I have a lovely one from Boden - I'm not usually a boden fan but it was the style and colour I wanted, it's really nice.

@minipie How long are you meant to freeze them, exactly? Feeling twitchy now about my just throwing them in a drawer with all my other woollens....

I got a nice one from Zara recently, very cosy

i second (third?) buying second hand. I've had some great Brora and Bruar from charity shops.
I also found uniqlo lasted well, til DH tumbled it. Now it belongs to DD...

I got some nice ones from M&S. Good value.

Polecat I think a few days? Not sure how reliable it is though, but have seen it recommended.
