I have over the years bought many items from Woolovers. In the early yers I was well pleased with the quality and price however in the past year or so I have noticed a deterioration in the quality accompanied by an increase in price. The neck bands on cardigans especially, frequently have to be repaired - not easy when no spare wool is enclosed. Buttons also constantly lose their colour and you are left with a white ring around the edge. I have got used to the pilling - this does disappear after a time. I think it is wrong to describe the Merino and Cashmere items as Cashmere and Merino as the mix is 80% Merino and 20% cashmere. I have with great reluctance made up my mind that I shall no longer be buying from Woolovers.
