Wool Overs is a UK company that started in 1989 and now has over 160 knitwear styles in 180 different colours and combinations.
I was recently sent a Woolover shrug and poncho to try out. I chose it as it looked so versatile and was an easy top to throw over anything without looking out of place. Another bonus when wearing it as a poncho has been the easiness of breastfeeding. I have styled it in as many ways as I could manage; there were another couple of ways suggested that I couldn’t manage. My favourite way to wear it was as a cardigan and poncho.
WoolOvers Review
I loved it from opening the parcel; it feels luxuriously soft and is of incredible quality, made of 30% cashmere and 70% merino. I have always looked at cashmere jumpers and left them thinking I would ruin them in the wash. I don’t have time to do separate delicate washes or hand washes.
The shrug carries the Woolmark, showing it has met strict performance levels. It has been specially treated to prevent shrinking while maintaining wool’s natural properties and benefits. It is recommended that it is washed on a wool cycle of a maximum of 40 degrees using a Woolmark-endorsed detergent. I washed it on a normal 40-wash using Tesco Baby non-bio, and it came out perfectly. No horrible bobbly bits, and still beautifully soft. The shrug retails at £50, which I think is a fab price for the amount of wear I will get out of it. It is a great item to have through all the seasons.
Woolovers ship worldwide. As a business, they are trying to become more sustainable, and they are proud to say they have only used natural yarns for 30 years.
Cashmere, merino wool, lambswool and pure wool are soft and breathable and biodegrade over time.
