Can you find me an investment wool jumper in black?

I've decided there's a gap in my wardrobe and strangely nowhere seems to sell black! I've checked Oubas, Toast, The Knotty Ones, Yantan, Poetry, People Tree and more...

Requirements:

  • 100% wool or possibly a mix but natural fibres only
  • some interest, ideally texture (no plain crew or v-neck ones - I have a basic merino one already)
  • budget up to around £175 (could maybe go up for the perfect jumper I can wear for years)

I've attached a couple of examples of jumpers I like. Can anyone find something like this in black?

Have you had a look at Chinti and Parker? They have quite a few black jumpers - almost all 100% wool or cashmere and I can vouch for them lasting a very long time

Genevieve Sweeney knitwear is lovely. This one has a similar pattern to the ones you like above, it’s charcoal though so not sure if it will be a deep enough black for you. Also a bit over budget. But very lovely!

House of bruar are doing a 100% wool black arran.

I have some M&S cashmere black jumpers. I'm allergic to anything except cashmere. I bought some in their sale, and some on Ebay.

Ami Amalia has a few black jumpers, I love the Clouded Squares pattern this is one in black.

I bought a black cashmere one from Sezane which is nice, has a little ruffled neck. I also have a black cashmere one from Uniqlo and a black merino one from Genevieve Sweeney

Sorry I can't be any help here @fernz but please could you tell me where the first two jumpers you shared are from? I love them!

TheOnlyAletheia · 26/12/2022 07:02

Yes please - love the green one!

The green is Poetry and the grey is The Knotty Ones. The last one is from Toast.

Have a look on Oubas too if you like that style, I have a grey one from them. 😊

Thank you everyone, I'm having a look through all these.

So many brands these days do all acrylic/polyester knits it's hard to find anything natural.

As well as Ami Amalia, I just realised nobody had recommended & Daughter, so would say that’s worth looking too! They have a sale on at the mo.

concretopedia · 26/12/2022 10:33

Thank you @fernz, much appreciated

DivorcingEU · 26/12/2022 10:40

Oh no just realised it's navy not black - looked back in the photo!

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 28/12/2022 13:22

Another Finisterre sugguestion
Note that us is 20% recycled synthetic fibres. I'm very much an "all natural fabrics" person, but I have found that 100% wool/cashmere jumpers damage very easily, and 20% synthetic makes them a bit more hard wearing, without feeling plasticy.

fernz · 28/12/2022 21:36

Thank you for all the ideas!
I've gone for this from Komodo - a bit different from what I originally had in mind but it definitely ticks the box for being a bit different with the pattern (you can see it better in the photos of the other colours!). Well under budget too!
