The right knitwear can feel like a warm hug. January is cold and your housemates don’t want to put the heating on, so the perfect jumper is less of a luxury right now and more of a necessity. But finding the right knitwear can be a bit of a mission. The material needs to be soft, not scratchy. Warm, but not too sweaty. And ideally in a durable material that will see you through many winters to come.
