Where the blend suits a man's knit

Jumpers dominate this page, and the blend suits a knit worn over a shirt every day. It is softer than pure merino at the neck and harder wearing than pure cashmere at the elbow and cuff. Among the constructions are slim fit high neck zip collar, diamond crew neck, full zip half cabled with lined pockets, slim fit v-neck and quarter zip argyle.

Ansett Gold

Ansett Gold carries most of this page, alongside standard Ansett. The range covers pullovers first, then jackets, cardigans, vests and a coat. Both labels sit in the same blend category, with Ansett Gold holding the broader spread of colours and necklines. Slim fits appear more often here than on the pure merino pages, and several shapes repeat in different colourways, which is worth knowing before scrolling the whole grid.

Common questions

Why choose a blend over pure merino?
Softness is the reason. Pure merino gives a firmer handle and better shape retention, but a blend with cashmere raises the softness at the neck and wrist. What the blend gives up is covered in Merino or cashmere: how to choose.
Which necklines does the blend come in?
High neck with a zip collar, crew, v-neck and quarter zip. The v-neck sits well under a shirt collar and leaves a tie showing. A high neck zip collar covers the throat and layers under a coat without a scarf.
How should a blended jumper be washed?
A blend sits between two fibres, so the garment label is the only reliable instruction. Whatever that label states overrides any general advice. A wool cycle is safe only where the label permits it. The wash guide is available at How to wash a wool or merino jumper.
