    just another thought, if you don't mind Primark, I think a lot of their jumpers are acrylic, too.

    I tend to agree that most stores all seem to stock the same styles, ranges and colours and it can often be difficult to find what you really want as opposed to what's on offer.

    Whilst I much prefer wool it makes me itch like blazes and I cannot wear it very often unless I wear a shirt or blouse underneath and not all styles can accommodate.

    So unfortunately I too am stuck with acrylic mixes, usually from the likes of Sainsbury's and Asda.

    Does anyone know of any nice substitutes. In the summer I try and buy cotton.

    Have you tried country outfitters?

    We can almost always find roll necks, and I put a lot back because they are acrylic even though they look lovely. Often not cheap, but if it is really what he wants might be better to spend on the right thing.

    I would go for thick chunky cotton jumpers, or maybe viscose?
