Looking for cashmere

I'm looking for some nice bed-socks and/or a cropped cardi in jewel colours.

Sainsbury/Tesco are cheap but don't have what I'm looking for, but I can't afford the high London prices of N.Peal and Brora etc.

I wondered if anyone knew of a good quality supplier and maybe a discount voucher code? Can't see one for Gap and I did think they used to do cashmere at Xmas.

    I bought my mum a cropped cashmere cardi in Primark last Xmas for about £25. Don't know if they still have them, but if you're near one it could be worth a look?

    Never seen a uniqlo in our area and the nearest Primark is at Lakeside (a 70 mile round-trip, so I avoid it if possible!). Might have to risk a mail order company.
  • Primark does nice cashmere but at the moment it's all neutral colours...

    TK Maxx does cashmere in jewel colours for £39.99

    Uniqlo is around the same price and has all sorts of colours and I think they do have socks too.

    M&S did a lot of cashmere last Christmas, my dad got mum a jumper that I think was around £50. May be worth a search again? And remember Quidco works with M&S!

    Could try
    http://www.purecollection.com/default
    The bed socks are quite pricy at £29. I have a jumper from them and the quality is much better than my primark and tesco cashmere. Its much thicker. There is a sale page also and a lot of there items come in loads of colours.
    On the down side there is a delivery charge:£4.95 per order

    Gap do some great cashmere- IMO its better then anywhere else as they have just that little bit better style with regards to their fit and cut. They are quite pricey, but are also alot less then Brora and etc.

    I love the softness from the other stores (Tescos, Uniqulo...etc) but the fit just isn't right, and theres no way I can justify paying anything for something that "just isn't right". So I will save/wait for the Gap sale.
  • Marks & Spencer and TK Maxx are great places to look for cashmere pieces in my opinion.
