Got a howies one i bought when worked in a bike shop years ago and it's done me proud but tbh it needs replaced. Like their new Magee jumper but 70 plus postage puts me off, where else can I find a nice wool jumper?

Edinburgh Woollen Mill - got dragged around one a month or so ago by my aged mother and they had some at very reasonable prices. Or M&S.

tk maxx is good but i get fed up how often there is nothing in my size or decent

woollen mill is prob a good shout ta

having helped with clipping a few times i wouldn't be that keen to use the wool straight from the source without at least a wash 😉

Uniqlo -not the greatest quality, but cheap as chips and they do lambswool, merino and cashmere...

Howies had some reduced to £50 and an extra 20% off yesterday...

M&S Blue Harbour - Fine Lambswool for £30 in a wide range of colours and fairly easy to look after IIRC

+1 for Woolovers, they often have a stand at country/agricultural shows, I've had a couple and they last well until some stupid woman thinks a hot wash is just the thing.

For the more bling/niche/merino:
