What’s going on with women’s knitwear at M & S?

What’s going with M & S women’s knitwear? Filtered my search on the website and there are no cotton jumpers or indeed wool. Cashmere and merino available but everything else is poly blends or supposedly wool rich with 6% wool! Menswear has a much greater range in natural fabrics. I loved the cotton cardigans they used to offer in a range of colours as I could buy smaller for a more fitted look but they have none at all. They also washed and tumble dried brilliantly without shrinking. (I know Mumsnet doesn’t usually approve of cardigans, but I love them).
Can anyone suggest affordable alternatives for jumpers and cardigans (up to around £50)?

can i just be the rabble rouser and say Uniqlo are cheap and crappy? I don't like the designs, most of the wool is 'shiny', and the cuts of their trousers and dresses is abysmal. There, someone needed to balance out the over promotion on here.

same with snag tights, they seem to have shares in MN.

I only really wear uniqlo trousers. They fit me perfectly, nice high waists and I have various shapes (barrel crop, wide leg, slim ankle)
i’m honestly Interested to know which trousers you think are cut so badly ….

Hi all, I managed to purchase a cotton jumper in the menswear section (size small) and a merino wool jumper in the womenswear. I also ordered a black and white ladies striped cotton cardigan that ended up being too big and a bit yuk! Going to centre parks this weekend so hopefully joules will have some possibilities. M & S was very poor and this was one of the larger stores. The sales assistant said they are expecting more in but I’m not convinced.
