Women's jumpers & knitwear

Preloved jumpers and knitwear, each one a single piece rather than a size run. You'll find crew necks, cardigans and oversized layering knits from names like Marks & Spencer, Next, Zara and Scamp & Dude, in UK 4 to 22. Everything is checked by hand, graded honestly and photographed as it really looks, so what you see on screen is the exact jumper that arrives.

Buying preloved jumpers and knitwear

What turns up on the rail

The knitwear rail leans autumnal and easy to wear. Marks & Spencer and Next show up regularly, alongside Shein and Primark for lighter, cheaper knits, plus Zara, Paramour, Scamp & Dude and the occasional Jaeger piece. Styles usually run to crew neck jumpers, cardigans and oversized shapes made for layering, with casual knits outnumbering anything dressy. Patterns come up often: stripes, animal print, floral, abstract prints and polka dot. Sizing typically spans UK 4 to 22, though because each jumper is one of one, the spread shifts week to week. Grading sits almost entirely in Very good, with a smaller number of Good pieces where wear is visible and described. If you want to see what else has landed, browse the wider women's clothing rail, and try workwear for the smarter knits that suit an office.

What to check before you buy knitwear

Knit behaves differently from woven clothing, so look at different things:

  • Bobbling: check underarms, cuffs and the sides where a bag rubs. We photograph and describe pilling, and it's the most common reason a jumper is graded Good rather than Very good.
  • Shape: stretched cuffs, a dropped hem or a sagging neckline tell you how much wear a knit has had.
  • Snags and small holes: fine gauge knits pull easily. Anything we find is noted in the listing.
  • Measurements over labels: oversized styles run large by design and older labels can run small. Ask us for chest, length and sleeve before you commit.
  • Fabric care: read the composition on the listing photo. Wool and blends often want a cool wool wash, not a hot cycle.

Why buy knitwear preloved

Knitwear is one of the best things to buy secondhand. A jumper that has already been washed a few times has done its shrinking and settling, so what you measure is what you keep. Better yarns and older high street quality turn up here at a fraction of what they cost new, and a good knit lasts years with basic care. Buying one that already exists also keeps a perfectly wearable jumper out of landfill.

Every order goes out with tracked UK delivery and is dispatched within 2 working days. Standard delivery is free over £50. You have 14 days to return anything for any reason, and 30 days if an item is faulty or not as described.

Common questions

Will a preloved jumper be bobbly?

Some are, and we say so. Pilling is the main thing that drops a knit from Very good to Good, and when it's present we photograph the area rather than shooting around it. A fabric comb or a knit shaver takes most surface bobbling off in a few minutes if you'd rather tidy it up at home.

How do I know an oversized jumper will fit?

Ask us. Measurements of any item are available on request before you buy, and with oversized and layering knits that matters more than the label, because two size 12 jumpers can be inches apart across the chest. We measure flat across the chest, plus body length and sleeve length.

Are the sizes reliable across brands?

Not always, and it's worth being honest about that. Older labels such as Jaeger often cut smaller than current high street sizing, and Shein knits frequently come up small too, so a stated UK 14 may wear closer to a 12. Message us for actual measurements before ordering rather than trusting the tag.

How should I wash wool and wool blend knits?

Check the composition shown in the listing photos, then follow it. Most wool and wool blends prefer a cool wool cycle or a hand wash with a gentle detergent, then drying flat rather than hanging, which prevents the shoulders and hem pulling out of shape. Storing knits folded rather than on hangers keeps the shape too.

Can I get more than one jumper in the same order?

Yes, and everything ships together with tracked UK delivery. Because each piece is one of one, once a jumper sells it's gone, so if two catch your eye it's worth ordering them at the same time. Orders over £50 get free standard delivery.

Nothing here suits me. What now?

New knitwear lands most days, so it's worth checking back later in the week. If you're after something specific, a colour, a size or a particular brand, send us a note through the contact form and we'll keep an eye out as pieces come in. We can also let you know about smarter knits that suit an office before they go live.
