I waited last year as I wasn't sure I'd want the bulk of a wool double layer across my front and then they sold out? I then managed one just a week ago and it hasn't left my back yet... ITS SO WONDERFUL! its soft and comfortable and just like a warm HUG. And though really warm its very thin and light, only 209 g whereas the Verona sweater is 267g on my scales...And it's ever so flattering! The colour is AMAZING and thus I cannot praise this piece enough, I'm won over now I need it in all my brights and a few neutrals... I bought the ULTRA VIOLET which is last year's colour collection but the JEWEL LOBELIA is a very close cousin! read more »

Even though not the ideal neckline for me on its own, I own 4 of these gorgeous and soft sweaters to wear over colorful floral print crew neck tops and contrasting colored tees. It is the ultimate work sweater as it is not constricting, feels light and soft against the skin and adds a polished touch to any outfit. read more »

I thought I was going to love the colour Mimosa, but it just doesn't do anything for me. I think perhaps it is too golden and muted for my soft/clear/warm colouring. My OH said its mustard colour. Nevertheless it is a lovely jumper and great quality as always, but this time I am returning. I'm 8/10 and I sized down to XS as I find the previous S I have in this style are a bit loose at the waist for my liking. The XS is a closer fit if you prefer the style of the faux wrap tops, which I do. I am now awaiting the XS Jellybean to see if that is a better colour for me, or I might even be naughty and try the jewel lobelia. read more »

I purchased this for presenting online last year in watermelon, and have been delighted with it. i have not washed it, so cannot comment on that, but i think this is very well designed - it gives a lovely flattering shape, has sufficient length in the body and arms for my 5'8 frame. I would imagine that it must come up a little large, as the XS fits nicely on me, and I am a moderately busty size 10. it Actually was a good proportion for me - many Kettlewell designs are too wide across the shoulders if they are the right bust fit, but the crossover design seems to work well. I just wish I had bought more at the time - with the weather being typically British, i was hoping to expand my collection with more spring colours, but alas, there is nothing available. I do hope more will be made soon! read more »

Purchased this gorgeous sweater in Oak Leaf. I am very impressed with the quality of this sweater. The sleeve length is generous, the cross over design tasteful, the stitching is quality, and the color is perfect for a warm spring/soft autumn. I do hope this style is not retired and returns next fall in more colors. My only regret is not buying one in every color. read more »
