Cable knits are always a big favourite at Wool Overs.
Whether a big super chunky knit or a finer one, not only are cable knits the perfect jumper to combat the winter chills, but they never really go out of fashion.
The cable knit uses a crossing stitch, which results in the shape of a ‘twisted rope’. The most famous cable knit, the classic Aran jumper, was originally used by fishermen for its practicality and ability to keep them very warm when at sea. They have now become a knitwear essential, for keen skiers.
What we really like about these cable knits is their versatility; you can wear anything you like with them, be it a pair of jeans or a shirt, depending on what style you would like to go for. Plus, they look chunky, but can still fit under a winter coat.
We have selected a few of our favourite cable knits, along with some of our customer reviews.

Overall customer rating:
“Very well made jumper. Really good fit, especially for body length – not too long, and for arm length – not too short. I got a Medium and I am normally @ size14 with wide shoulders and this jumper fits perfectly.”
“I got this in the Blueberry which is a fabulous, rich purple colour. I absolutely love it and have been wearing it every day since it arrived. I have the green one as well and thats great too. I think the fit is just right, maybe I have fat arms but I disagree that the sleeves are too wide. I will definitely buy more of these as gifts and for myself.”
“Very comfortable, hugging warmly the body, low maintenance, with a spot of colour adding a zing, absolute correct described. I will recommend to anybody just to try it. Nobody will be disappointed.”

Overall:
“I was thrilled to receive my order – I wasn’t sure if this item would suit me or not but the sizing information and website really guide you through the ordering process & help make the choice easier – too many good thing to buy really and all of an exceptional quality. I also purchased my dad a jumper for his birthday and was thrilled with the quality and the value for money especially given the last time I purchased a jumper for my father of similar quality it cost me 4 times what i spent on his Wool Overs one! Can’t recommend Wool Overs highly enough :)”
“What a stunning jumper. Couldn’t buy one from a store for that price and that includes the postage. Giving the brochure that came with the jumper to friends and family to look at and hopefully buy.”!
“A superb garment for colder days. This beats all the other synthetic garments in the high st which are never warm enough. I will always buy my clothes from woolovers in the future.”

“This jumper is perfect for keeping warm in winter. I live in a chilly location and with a cotton long sleeved top underneath, a long scarf, some jeans and snow boots this keeps me so toasty and it feels so good. I love the chunky knit and the turtle neck is so lovely to keep my neck warm. Great buy and great price. I will be back!”
“This jumper is so cozy and soft. I like it! I am 100% satisfied and I would definitely recommend it to my friends!”
“Thick knit but not over chunky so can be worn easily under a coat.”
