Good to see you promoting British woolens.If anybody is looking to give their wardrobe a boost whilst spending relatively modest amounts can I suggest checking out the myriad of Scottish milled tartan scafes available via the web for example.My personal hoLy grail is a black boat knecked arran jumper. I had one many years ago and wore it to destruction and have never found a replacement despite frequent searches. Any clues as to where I ight find one or alternatively a blue donegal tweed jumper would be appreciated.
ReplyDeleteFind a decent handknitter to replace your sweater, and be prepared to pay accordingly. But there are some excellent knitwear companies mentioned in previous Grey Fox posts too.
ReplyDeleteThanks all - I do like to push Made in Britain here - we have some great traditions and skills which are slowly recovering as we move away from China and cheap, often unsustainably-made clothing from elsewhere.
