Jumpers that won’t bobble within 3 mins of wearing them?

That also don’t cost an absolute bloody fortune…

Does this holy grail exist and if so, any idea where to find it?!

eg Bought a Soufflé knit from Uniqlo last year which I did love the first couple of time I wore it but it bobbled v quickly (before even a first wash, and then was a total bobble-fest once I had in fact washed it…)

Perfectly happy to spend more (70/80 quid max) but I just want a nice plain jumper that won’t bobble so much!

I wash my jumpers as little as possible but let’s face it they can’t NEVER be washed. When I do wash them I use wool cycle, no spin or lowest spin possible, delicates/wool liquid.

I prefer blends with some synthetic fibres in them to pure wool or cashmere as I worry about pure wool in the machine (and I just won’t hand-wash, it’s not worth pretending I will) but is it the blends that bobble worst?

Finer jumpers like eg Uniqlo merino are nice and don’t bobble (and do survive my gentle machine washing) but I’m really in need of something chunkier.

Basically what I think I really want is a stunning £300 pure wool jobbie from NavyGrey and a personal laundress to wash it by hand for me but neither of those things are going to happen soon…

P.S the woollens are no longer the original 'picky wool' but merino whichch is more skin friendly.
