Woolovers pt.2 - more pullover shopping

I already ordered the duplicate of my green lambswool pullover in purple, but I'm thinking about doing a second order, there's still free shipping today. I was hesitating to buy a third version of my pullover, but I still think a dark neutral pullover might be useful to have.

I didn't have a look at the merino cashmere mixes before, but there are two styles in charcoal that I could order instead of the lambswool pullover, #3 in a cable knit and #4 which is smooth. Both are unisex and have measurements comparable to the lambswool sweater, so they should look similar on me. They would probably also be slouchy just like #1 if I order the size S. And the different fabric might also be wearable in warmer temperatures, compared with the lambswool.

I also thought I could order a navy merino cashmere pullover that is more cropped, to wear with my skirts when it's not super cold. What do you think? Do you prefer one of the greys to the other? Would you order one? Should I add the navy?

I was just thinking that the navy one would probably be more useful than the grey, I should make the navy a priority. I don't have many tops that are good with skirts (especially the flared ones).

Definitely get the navy, then. Would the gray be too similar, or are you thinking it would still find plenty of use?

Love the navy and the gray cable!

Thanks Alasse! The navy is quite a bit shorter, so really best with skirts. Both of the greys are longer, so more of pullover you would wear with jeans and semi tuck...

Thanks Carter.

Okay, I ordered the navy, but none of the grey ones. I figured a pullover that works over skirts is more important, especially because both of my cropped pullovers that go with skirts aren't really wearable anymore. I hope the merino and cashmere is as lovely as the lambswool!

I found that the cashmere merino was a slightly finer knit than the lambswool, but lovely and soft. I like it very much. I'm pretty happy with their quality overall.

I was wondering what your experience with shipping is. I placed my first order on 26 December and it was shipped on 5 Jan, but I figured that they must have closed for Christmas. Then I placed an order two days ago and still haven't received a dispatch notice. I emailed them to ask about it and to see what's happened to two of the three packages which haven't arrived, and no response. How have you found them? I've not done a lot of online shopping so I don't know what is normal.

Thanks Dimity, that's good to hear.

I already got a mail that the purple pullover is dispatched, so that only took a day or so. In the past it went diffently each time, I got it either much more quickly than expected or had to wait a bit. I think in the mail it said up to 8 workdays shipping for Germany. I know that once it took longer. Maybe they are busy because of the sale right now? Do you have saved your order number? I think I would definitely ask again if it still hasn't been dispatched on Monday.

Thanks, Astrid. That's good to know. Yes, I've got my order number and will check with them again on Monday. I think you must be right about being busy with the sale.
It's not like I desperately need jumpers, given that it's 32 degrees C today, but it's fun to get packages in the mail!
