@Vik Here is a place that I went to 30ish years ago and bought a sweater from. They used to raise their sheep and harvest the wool to make sweaters. Everything was done in house a long time ago.

On the site they have a myriad of different sweaters to view/kits to purchase/etc.

Hopefully it might help a little: https://philosopherswool.ca/colourways/

@goosehd What a phenomenal find! Will have to invest a few hours tonight to scroll through their website more thoroughly, love how sustainable their approach is!

@goosehd aw man, can't put into words how much I love a good Aran jumper - that's incredibly nice! Was it scratchier at first and soften up with wear?

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd I’m sorry, I don’t think I can appreciate the quality until I see you wearing it

[goosehd]

Don’t laugh, but I understand if you do….

Has been huge from the start and I don’t know what I was thinking at the time. Love it though and it’s like wearing a comfort blanket. @Vik Extremely soft now and can’t bear the thought of passing it on (although I should because of the size).

Don't laugh? Just wet myself.......

Fits like a glove. Personally, I like that it leaves plenty to the imagination

[goosehd]

What can I say self deprecation is my middle name…love you @Giles

@goosehd Personally like the versatility of the jumper, keeps you warm AND you could smuggle a small goat over country lines undetected in it too!

@Vik

I see you’re fitting right in with the crew!!

That’s a solid fit.

Had to get involved here, picked up a Jamieson's of shetland knit from clutch at the start of winter, and I have hardly taken the thing off. 100% Shetland yarn, a brand with great history and tradition, the fabric is so soft and full of character.
