Shoppers are singing praises for a knitted fairisle jumper that subtly captures the festive spirit. The Greta Sparkle Fairisle Jumper from Hobbs, which is priced at under £100, is winning hearts.
The jumper, set against a navy backdrop, boasts a classic Christmas fairisle pattern with a zigzag design in ivory and silver across the upper half. Its sparkle comes from the silver thread woven through, offering a stylish alternative to the more overtly festive jumpers adorned with Rudolph or Christmas trees.
Made from a blend of merino wool and a touch of cashmere, the jumper promises a comfortable fit, making it an ideal match for both casual jeans and elegant silver satin skirts. It features a cosy ribbed crew neck and long sleeves, ensuring warmth throughout the winter season.
Although recently introduced, the knitwear has already earned a 4.5-star rating and rave reviews. One satisfied Hobbs fan shared: “I love this jumper, it is a lovely colour and design and the fit is perfect. I love Hobbs clothes, great quality and style.”
One delighted shopper wrote: “Excellent quality with subtle lurex embellishment. Ideal for smart casual wear with jeans, trousers or skirts and favourite footwear i.e knee or ankle boots. Looking forward to wearing it to four festive lunchtime occasions this year. An absolute go-to jumper.”
While there has been a wave of praise for the jumper, one customer was somewhat disappointed, giving it a four-star review due to issues with the fit, noting in their review: “I felt the neck is slightly larger when l have worn it.” Besides its original colour, the jumper is also offered in ivory, presenting an alternative lighter shade without the metallic thread’s added sparkle.
For those who fancy a bit of glitter, Asda is selling the Grey Sequin Diamond Knitted Jumper priced at £24, while shoppers looking for a turtleneck that’s subtler might be tempted by Cotton Traders’ Fair Isle Turtleneck Jumper, available for £39.
