Product Details
We're proud to say that from farm to factory our beautiful Gansey jumper is produced entirely in Britain. A take on the traditional fisherman’s Gansey jumper, we’ve been inspired by stitch patterns used historically in Cornish fishing villages. Details include a boxy, drop shoulder body shape with T sleeves and a ribbed and cast off rolled collar. Panelled stitch patterns run across the top half of the jumper, plus it is ‘knitted in the round’, meaning it is seamless, just as the traditional fisherman’s jumpers were made. Made using undyed wool, the natural fibres keep you warm in cold weather, but are breathable too.

Material
Laxtons, a spinner based in Yorkshire, create fully traceable British wool. They are members of the British Wool Association and the Soil Association, have a Woolmark and are Campaign for Wool supporters.
This yarn is a blend of premium British fleeces finished within a 50 mile radius of the spinner. We use the wool in a factory in the Leicester area meaning the entire process, from fleece to finished jumper, is kept in the UK. End to end British wool.

Care
Washing Instructions
Hand Wash only
When washing by hand, avoid twisting or wringing as this may damage the wool. Do not use fabric conditioner when washing. To remove excess water from the garment we recommend wrapping it in a towel and gently squeezing it before leaving the item to dry. Do not put on a spin cycle. Lay the product out flat to dry, do not hang your wool garments. Allow to dry naturally away from all artificial heat sources.
Care & Cleaning Products
Pilling
Clothing made from natural fibres can occasionally 'pill'. These little balls of fibre or 'pills' are created as the smaller fibres in the twist of yarn naturally shed with wear. This will lessen as you wash and wear your garment. Until then, they can be gently removed with our Pilling Comb.

Write a reviewLoveliest jumper I've bought in a long time. The neck is plenty big enough and the wool is unexpected very soft. The natural colour is classy and I can get quite a big baggy breton striped tee-shirt underneath(long-sleeved)Although slightly big it's surprisingly flattering. I bought large but sent it back as a bit close-fitting.
I absolutely love this sweater (jumper). It is oversized/boxy which is exactly what I was looking for. I will say, however, that it does 'pill' quite excessively. I remove them each time I wear it. I believe this will calm down eventually, however. So glad I purchased and so glad it's "British Made'
Lovely light knit. Cosy to wear whilst not overheating. Good quality as usual for Celtic & Co. Only issue is the bobbling which happens a lot with every wear. Need to debobble frequently. Will continue to wear as it’s such a lovely useful jumper.
I'm so glad I splashed out on this gansey jumper. It's warm, light, and the oatmeal colour looks great with everything. I wear it a lot, which makes it great value. I'm size 14 and I sized down to medium, which makes it a comfy and roomy fit for me. I use a battery operated de-pilling device for any bobbles, which is quite fun and satisfying to use!
Beautiful, warm fairly lightweight jumper. I love the pattern and colours. I'm a 40" bust and the large was way too big, even the medium is roomy, which is how I like it. Customer service, second to none. Wonderful all round. Highly recommend.
This jumper looks good, and is soft and warm BUT it pills really badly. It started the first day I wore it and now, just under a month later is covered in bobbles (even though I've pulled a lot of them off). I do feel that, for the price it was, the quality of the yarn should be much better.

Thank you for your review, pilling occurs more commonly in natural fibres where they have not been chemically treated to prevent it. Regular de-pilling using either a comb or electric de-fuzzer will help to prevent this and help maintain the garment looking its best. Kind regards
Lovely jumper light but warm but it bobbled badly on the first wearing and is a mess now. Have ordered a device to remove the bobbles. I will still enjoy wearing it but it will require more care than my many other Celtic wool jumpers.
It's a beautiful jumper. Soft. Light and warm. Gorgeous colour. I bought a bigger size as I wanted it oversized and it's perfect. My only complaint is that the jumper bobbles very easily and while I remove the bobbles between wearing by the end of the day the jumper does look a bit of a mess with bobbles all over the sleeves and down the sides. I haven't washed it yet and wonder if this would help (or not).
I recently ordered two of these beautiful warm and soft jumpers. I ordered the X-Large for 2 reasons, as when I come to wash them there might well be a little shrinkage so I ordered up and because I have a long body quite often the jumpers are no way near long enough for my body shape. I’m gutted because the jumpers feel like soft fluffy clouds when worn with a nice shirt underneath. Please please can you start to cater for us tall ladies out here when sizing your jumpers Seasalt d cater for petite normal and tall range. Kind regards Len Ashley x

Thank you for your comments we really appreciate your feedback and will pass these to our Product Team. Kind regards Celtic & Co
Have been looking for a "gansey" for a while, but didn't want the Geurnsey or other versions which are usually heavier, oiled wool, very fitted and seemed difficult to size accurately on t'interweb! This fits the bill: a tad lighter than expected, but a lovely design without too much pattern, beautiful soft green (Landscape) and I love the relaxed fit. I'm usually a 12/medium in jumpers and opted for the small in this one and, it's perfect, relaxed not too oversized and still fits comfortably under jackets. It does feel scratchy, I hope this will lessen when washed a few times, but I bought it to layer up anyhow, so not an issue.
