FAQ's British Knitwear - Wearing wool jumpers

Common questions we get asked about British Wool Knitwear

“Will it feel too heavy?”

Our heavyweight British knitwear is intentionally designed to feel warm, durable and protective during colder months. Customers looking for substantial outdoor knitwear often love the reassuring weight and quality feel of traditional wool jumpers.

“Will it lose shape over time?”

British wool is naturally resilient and known for its durability. With the right care, your knitwear is designed to hold its shape and last for years rather than seasons.

“How do I wash British wool knitwear?”

Wool doesn’t need washing as frequently as synthetic fabrics thanks to its natural breathable and odour-resistant properties. We recommend gentle hand washing or specialist wool care when needed, along with air drying flat to help maintain the shape and quality of the knitwear. We've created a Knitwear Care Guide for more help on this, you can find it here

“Is wool too warm for everyday wear?”

British wool is naturally temperature regulating, helping keep you warm in colder weather while remaining breathable and comfortable for everyday layering outdoors.

“Will it last?”

This is one of the biggest reasons customers choose traditional British wool knitwear. Our jumpers are designed as long-term wardrobe staples using quality British wool, traditional craftsmanship and timeless designs that won’t date quickly.

“What size should I choose?”

Through years of experience at pop-ups and markets, we’ve helped many customers find the right fit in our knitwear. Most customers choose their usual size for a relaxed but practical fit suitable for layering and outdoor wear.
