Wooly wooly

Now that it’s getting cold it’s definitely worth trawling the charity shops for knitwear.

 I like looking on the men’s rail; you can so often find really good big jumpers. Oversized jumpers can be worn over loads of layers so they’re great for the winter months. Plus with men’s jumpers the sleeves are extra long so they keep your hands warm.

 One way to customize woolen knitwear is felt it, by boiling it in a big pan. Once wool is felted you can cut into it without the knit unraveling. I’ve seen quite a few cropped jumpers in the shops this season, so a cheap way to get your own would be to buy a wool jumper from the charity shop, felt it then cut it to the desired length.
