Searching for a cable knit jumper

[seven201]

I've never owned an expensive jumper but I think I might get one for Xmas! Maybe around £100.

I am after:
Some cable knit
Possibly some bobbles
A nice fibre, not all 100% acrylic type
Dark colour - I like dark green, olive green, dark berry colour, navy. I am pasty and do not suit beige, mustard etc.
Not a tight fit.
Normal round neck, not turtleneck etc.
Not short, needs to at least cover jeans waistband. I'm an apple shape.

I really love this mint velvet one but it is too short and the colour too light. I am fussy.

Anyone seen anything that fits the bill? Thank you

Is this dark enough?

Woolovers? I would wait for the sales myself when it comes to clothing, you might get two. !!

Ooh, thank you. Those sites look great!

Thank you. Will take a look

Thank you. I nearly like the colour on this one. Looks lovely and soft

This is on the maybe list. I like the damson colour. Thank you

I love this one but they only have the size I think I'd want (Large) in the black. The ponderosa colour is gorgeous. I do like the black so it's also maybe. Thank you

I bought these two and need to decide which colour to keep! Swaying towards the olive at the moment. I love the knit pattern. Thank you for your help everyone.

@MrsLeonFarrell it was you who suggested seasalt, so thank you!

The olive is a lovely colour. It wouldn’t suit me but if it’s right for your colouring then keep that one!

Oh definitately the olive.. it’s beautiful!

Did you pay full price or get it in the sale, @seven201? Either way I’m slightly horrified that Seasalt sells what looks like a real jumper but is 50% nylon. Why do they? And made in China, too - when the UK is famously brilliant at knitwear.

Anyway, if it’s what you want, keep the colour that works best with all your winter clothes.

@BlanklyMyDear I got it in the sale. I've worn it a lot over the past few days and it's not felt particularly synthetic. I think blended fibres can be pretty practical, although would have preferred a little less nylon ideally. Will see how it fairs after washing. I'm happy I kept the green one. Shame it wasn't made in the UK, although the price would have been higher for sure!

I'm a little late to this thread, but glad you found something you like! Mixed fibres are not all bad, since wool can be itchy and too warm sometimes. I have an Irish knit cardigan, but find it heavy. If I do wear it, it's more like a jacket than cardigan, but it is beautiful in a traditional way.
