Mock Turtle neck sweater

carefullycautious

I am having difficulty finding a jumper that is not acrylic and that has this type of neck. It is not a polo neck but does come up around the neck making it nice a warm to wear.


A lambs wool or something soft textured. Does anyone know where I could source one from. Not too pricey even better.


I have tried EWM and Bon Marche but again acrylic seems to be the norm.

Have you tried the M&S website? You can search on neckline and material..

I saw these in Marks this morning http://www.marksandspencer.com/pure-lambswool-crew-neck-jumper/p/p22320887

Thanks for the M&S link unfortunately the neckline is too low. It is difficult to explain as I don't want a full polo neck but a half one that keeps neck warm but does not come up to chin.


I think I may have to knit one.

Might be something suitable on woolovers, prices seem reasonable for lambswool

There's one here: http://www.davidnieper.co.uk/merino-stripe-turtle-neck.html

It's quite difficult nowadays to find anything in genuine wool, and if you do find one, it's not cheap.

I have bought loads of items from Woolovers. They machine wash well, and I would recommend them to anyone, so if you find anything you fancy on their website, buy with confidence.

Love this, however I cannot justify that price. Thank you everyone for your help.


I will price up knitting one myself.
