Fine knits 100% wool (or wool & cashmere)

I like to wear a white cotton fitted tshirt (long or short sleeves) under things in summer. I'm now looking for similar for winter in fine wool.

I have a heap of the 'extra fine merino wool' from Uniqlo - gorgeous colours and almost as light & fine as a cotton tshirt, but they get holes & run as soon as I look at them. I'm not great at darning!

I've ordered this fine knitted long sleeve jumper from & Other Stories, but I'm wondering if any of you have other recommendations for fitted long sleeve wool tshirt style jumpers? Fine kit not chunky.

M&S have some. I prefer the men’s they’re longer.

ooo thanks, I hadn't thought of M&S - I usually find their stuff soooooo boring. But I basically want something like a fine knit wool long-sleeved tshirt. So I'll have a look!

How mich were you thinking? If you've got something specific in mind, speak to an independent wool shop as they may be able to have something knitted up for you.

I have many of these sweaters, from Falconeri - it is their ultra fine cashmere, woven from extremely long cashmere strands so it doesn't pull, get holes in, or pill. They come in MANY colors. A sweater like this will last you a lifetime.
Size down for more fitted look:

All the H&M brands do them - Other Stories, Cos, Arket and sometimes H&M. I also have some from Dilling which are slightly thicker.

I also have this from Reiss, 100% wool. www.reiss.com/style/su710885/h20943

Ooo thanks everyone! A lot more possiblities than I realised. Price not really a problem if I can find what I want. I make most of my clothes, but I don't knit. Buying really fine woollen jersey fabric is tricky. If I could buy the fabric, I could make what I want.

And the Cos one looks like what I'm looking for. I don't really buy clothes (I can make them so much better) and when I have tried it, Cos was drafted for a different shaped body than mine (I have broad hips & broad shoulders and a small waist - Cos drafts for a squarer body) but those jumpers look lovely.

I’ve been impressed with the quality from Dilling, especially given the very reasonable price. They’re a snug fit though so I’d recommend sizing up if you try them.

ooo those Dilliing tops are nice.

THank you all, Stylistas! You've given me loads to browse and choose from.
