Yes the weather is grim, dark and dank at the moment. Hope the rain stops soon.

I can't agree that it's so bad. In S-W London we had some beautiful frosty nights and crisp, bright mornings of a kind I have been looking forward to all autumn. Yes, it's raining a bit now, but at least it isn't that unseasonably mild, muggy weather we had earlier this month. I prefer slightly longer, early-autumn style days but have no nostalgia for the long humid evenings we had in the summer.

Hi folks here are my three jumpers from Sou'West Chunkies.

Autumn.


Gansey.



Herdwick mix.

Nice sweaters you have there.

Just received a new Gansey from Sou'west chunkies. I like the tighter knit of this compared to my other chunky. Both are nice but I really need to tighten up the chunkie a bit with a wash as it's getting a bit loose.

Really nice sweater. Question: I lost quite a bit of weight a few years back, and I'm wondering about how to control the shrinking of a sweater. For instance, how would I shrink a large, thin cashmire down to a medium? Any tips?

 

[casechopper]

I think you're probably best to just sell the sweaters you have and get a smaller size. I've read with these chunkie sweaters that you can get them back to their original size by washing very carefully if they've been stretched out a bit by use. I'm not sure I'd want to attempt shrinking down in complete sizes though.

I've shrunk quite a few wool sweaters successfully.
Just get it wet and throw it in the clothes dryer.
Take it out and try it on after a minute or two, as most of the shrinkage will occur right at the start. If it's still too big, give it some more heat, etc..

Now I want one of these darn Chunkie sweaters.

Thanks. I just saw this now and it sounds like good advice. I've had this one sweater for years, cashmere crewneck with dark green, black, and purple stripes (grunge, I suppose) that's my favorite with a leather jacket and I just can't give it up. One of those things.
