Hi Peter,
I am the Ticklishchap. And I have just ordred a black chunkie from you.
Best Wishes,
Aidan

 

[Ticklishchap]

100% wool!

 

[Dav]

That is what I have just ordered, seeing how nice it is on you. My others are green and dark brown. What colour is the other one you have ordered?

I've ordered a 90% charcoal 10% bottle green mix.

I've ordered a 90% charcoal 10% bottle green mix.

Sounds a very good mix! I might even follow your example.

I think it's a good thing to give a bit of support to the British wool industry, from what I've seen on Country File they need it.

Agreed. However it's good to see a bit of a trend back towards wool - and away from horrid fleeces!

 

[STEVIEBOY1]

Agreed we should support the UK Wool industry, I wear alot of pullovers for work, leisure and around the house, keeps the gas/electric bills down. I always go for 100 per cent wool,, long sleeve and made in the UK. I recently ordered one of these Chunkies with a roll neck. Looking forward to it's arrival in view of the currant cold spell.

The roll neck chunkie I ordered came today, it's excellent, looks and feels good and very good service from the supplier in Cornwall, many tks &rgds.

The chunky black that I ordered arrived today. Very pleased with the quality, fit, service and price.

 

[Edward]

Photographs, please, gentlemen! I am currently in Beijing and very much appreciating the cardies I picked up on the High Street before I left. A fellow can never have to many good sweaters for the depths of Winter, however, and so I am most interested in these as an option.

 

[RobT]

Unfortunately, I have no means of taking a photograph at the moment. The pictures taken by Dav do the sweaters ample justice.

Hi Chaps,

My Herdwick Chunkie arrived today. Absolutely lovely, and a splendid service from Peter.

I'd been scoping these out for a while after stumbling across the site, and when I ordered a week or so ago Peter asked if I'd heard about it from the Fedora Lounge?! Bit of a coincidence, but then I'm not surprised you chaps already knew all about these great jumpers!

Anyway, mine is made out of natural undyed Herdwick wool which is a dark charcoal grey and a slightly coarse wool, but that's what I was after. I'd definitely buy another, and I'd be more than happy to recommend this lovely little company to anyone.

Ed - I'll get some photos up at some point!

Dav, looks like a great sweater - but isn't it the other way 'round: 90% bottle green and 10% charcoal?
Not that it matters - just wondering

I agree Spitfire it does look the other way round especially in the photo.

 

[Aether]

Very nice Dav. They're lovely and warm aren't they? And very aptly named.

Could you post a picture? I'd like to know what the roll-neck version looks like.

Good afternoon, I am sorry but I have no means of taking a photograph at the moment, but if you look at the picutures of the other guys in this thread with their round neck up to the chin you'll be about right, I am very pleased with mine especially in this very cold weather. I am thinking of getting another one in fact. rgds Steve

You seem a bit of a jumper enthusiast - if you can recommend some nice cardis too???

I don't wear cardis much, although Guernsey Knitwear do some cardigan versions in a number of colours: www.guernseyknitwear.co.uk
Yes, I am a bit of a jumper enthusiast (or sweater, for our friends across the Pond). I'll send you a PM.

Good afternoon, There is a company called woolovers based in Sussex, that do quite good cardigans as well as sweaters. I have bought a few items from them and plan getting a zipper wool cardi quite soon to add to my warderobe. Rgds Steve.

Good afternoon gentlemen, Belated Happy New Year! Well that's my new year resolution gone after about one month, to reduce my buying..!,

I have just ordered another chunkie from SWC, went for a black round neck this time. Rgds.
