I really want to find a good cardigan that doesn't bobble and doesn't cost the earth. I have to look smart for work but I don't have a great deal of money. I prefer cardigans for layering reaons. My mum buys from Edinburgh wool and they always end up bobbling. I bought a lovely acrylic turquoise cardigan from BHS for £19 which I thought was a good deal but I've worn it twice and it is all ready starting to bobble on the arms.

Any suggestions of a better material or brand would be greatly recieved, thanks!

My new jumper has bobbled after I have worn it once !!! Not even washed it yet

Yes mine too, that's why I posted originally - am I expecting too much from a bhs cardigan? Would I be better off in the long run buying a wool product rather than acrylic although no doubt I would shrink it.

Just wondered what  other people have found wears well?

I will try washing by hand though as I'm sure that is gentler.

Just buy a 'bobble-off'. Mine's great. I've even used it on the living room carpet where little paws have pulled the threads!!!
