I love this jumper, but would it be odd to wear this after Christmas?

It looks as though we are most likely to wear it whilst deeply tanned, with our midriff on show. So I guess it’s an all season cardi. Or so they would have us believe.

It extremely overpriced for something 50% plastic that sheds microplastics that end in our food, water, air and soil. Paying this much for being forced to eat my own jumper? No thank you!

It’s not fair isle, looks like intarsia pattern to me. I second Bosie, Harley of Scotland, Celtic and Co and other places PPs mentioned for real wool.

I would wait a little longer, it's in the Next sale for £70 when that goes live.

I love my fair isle .. I have a Brora lambswool and an Eribe in bright yellow .. they both fill my heart with joy.

Fair Isle is fine in Jan / Feb.

Ive seen a robin in the summer, although my daughter thought they were just about at Christmas 😂

Not RTFT but I've bought Brora Fair Isle cardies in the sale. Another one who only buys wool/cashmere, not the horrid acrylics.
I'm in Melbourne and wear them in all but summer. I might make an exception this year as Christmas Day is set to be cool and rainy. Also eyeing up the log burner.
