I bought a sweater from Woolovers on 16/09/15 and had it gift wrapped and sent to my daughter for Christmas. If it doesn't fit will they refund as it is several months?

They are extremely good with exchanges and refunds so I can't see this being a problem at all especially as it's a Christmas present.

Although I haven't bought anything from Woolovers quite that far in advance of Christmas - I have several times bought gifts from them for my mother and one was exchanged with no questions or quibbles after Christmas because it didn't fit. I think it must have been about 2-3 months after I bought it. I kept the original packaging and receipt just in case. I hope this is helpful.

I have 10 or more of their lovely woollens, I have been very pleased with the quality and of the wash and wear, but the last cardigan bought for Christmas doesn't seem so good for a start it pilled after only one wear, I know this can be normal, so used their little gadget for removing. Then washed it by hand as I always do, but I'm afraid it has stretched quite a bit and is now too big, I would some help please?

As with any knitted garment, after washing, it must be dried flat. If hung by, say, a coat-hanger, the weight of the moisture will cause stretching, particularly if made with a loose knit. Hopefully, if the item is washed again and dried flat, the fibres will tighten up again. Also, as advised by Woolovers, their garments are sized generously, so best to get the next size down than what you usually wear. Hope this helps.

I've had same problem with one sweater pilling but it has kept it's shape. The others I have are all fine, disappointing.

I wash all my cardigans in net bags and find that they keep their shape well. My favourites are the silk and cotton long cardigans but I have all the colours in this more limited range now. I have had some 'bobbling' with some of the lambswool cardigans but it seems to relate to colour I.e. all the blues but not camel or cream. I note your comments about the pile comb and I must order one, thank you.

I bought a pullover in summer but did not wear it until winter. It quickly pilled, and even a gentle exploratory tug on a pill caused the stitches to unknit as if they were not locked. By this time 6 months had passed. I asked the MD for a refund but got neither refund nor even an acknowledgement of my observations. The motto "Buy cheap, buy twice" comes to mind and I shall never buy anything from Woolovers ago.

I think you should contact the supplier as they are very concerned when an item is not up to their usual standards and appreciate customers contacting them when they experience problems. I always wash my woollens on the wool wash in my washing machine and then dry indoors on a standard clothes drier with no problems. I do sometimes experience pilling but find when I iron the garment the problem is overcome. I have never used their 'de-fuzz' gadget.

If I were you I would contact the company. I have several items from them and they have all washed well. Give them a chance to rectify your problem.

Hi! I like woolovers garment and wash them by hand. But this summer there was very interesting experience. After vacation trip my favorite cashmere - merino charcoal hoody was pilled. I decided to make a machine wash but with wool program and recommended temperature and detergent. I was really amazed when after machine wash it looked like pilling disappeared! Nothing can say about their gadget - I don't have it.
