About us
WoolOvers is a British lifestyle brand, quietly designing and selling quality natural knitwear since 1989.

Our product offer has continued to grow and we now offer accessories and jersey as well as our classic knitwear, and we recently introduced stuff for the home, too. The cosiest cashmere, the comfiest cotton, the finest merino wool... we believe in doing it naturally. We also sell super-soft sheepskin accessories and leather goods. 35% of plastics in our oceans come from washing synthetic clothing.
