Please! Where can I get decent knitwear with fulllength sleeves with less manmade fibres in?? (Preferably with shape or fitted)

I have long arms, so look sillin some of the lengths out there. Hate cold arms and look sill in the long T-shirt under chunky knit thing (mades me put on at least 6 lb)

I had a look in Sainsbury's and th usual high street shops, but the static was awful from the manmade fibres.

I want to get some quality jumpers/ t-shirts, but don't have a massive budget. Also fed up with things shrinking!

Thanks!

Yes, can vouch for the quality of Boden knitwear, OP. However my merino tunic from there has 3/4 sleeves so I have to layer with long sleeve tee beneath.

thisisyesterday - is yours long sleeved?

I have said it before, and I'll say it again. Woolovers. Website not very exiting, but very decent knitwear at good prices. The cashmere/merino mix stuff is very soft and warm, and very well priced.

Ignore the fairly boring modelling and settings and have an explore through here. Some really grannyish stuff, but some nice stuff too. Great basics.

yes, mine is long-sleeved
