Have wanted to buy this cardigan for ages and decided to order as reviews were good and rightly so. This cardigan is lovely, the colour cannot be appreciated fully on the website - it really is a slate colour with a slight tweed effect.
A great fit, I took size small, as advised by some, I am 12/14. I like the short length. Good quality too.

Really pleased with this warm and well-fitting cardi. Very good length for me as I'm only 5'2”...and an easy colour to wear. Please make some in a warm orange or red for draughty summer evenings! Thanks Celtic!
Claudia Berent - 3 days 8 hours ago
The cardigan is cosy, fits perfectly and the quality is excellent. The colour is suitable to almost everything. Thanks!!
Mandy Vos - 21 days 9 hours ago
Absolutely love this cardigan. I wasn't sure about the colour from the picture on the website, but thought I'd risk buying it regardless.
The style and fit and length are just perfect, it is definitely a wardrobe favourite now and I'll probably wear it until it literally falls to bits.
I would definitely recommend this cardigan to my friends.
I've bought from Celtic lots of times and have never been disappointed. Many Thanks!

I bought this item as a present for myself on christmas day as I dropped a few hints as one for a present - no luck, I love it, especially the wool it is made of as I do not like man-made fibres!! it really keeps me warm and is stylish, will buy from this company again. thanks

I liked the look and colour of the cardigan, the kind of wool it was made of and also the fact that it was short. So often I can find cardigans that I like but they are far too long. It was nice to see that perhaps shorter people were being provided for (after all it is the only short cardi I saw in your catalogue). The size is absolutely right, arms absolutely right and the general fit absolutely right. Suits me. Many thanks

I ordered this cardigan last year but it was very tight on the shoulder seams. Loved it though, and thought I'd give it another go. This time it fits perfectly: perhaps a different knitter? So if you're disappointed, reorder it and it could be a better fit
Jane Wray - 44 days 11 hours ago
I really like the cardigan, the buttons are really beautiful and add a contempory touch to a traditional knit. However it is much too large for me. I ordered the large size, after reading reviews from other customers. I usually buy size 14 clothes.I am returning the cardigan.
Jill - 44 days 23 hours ago
A Fabulous cardigan! I bought this cardy last year and wore it to death. Sadly, I got careless and shrank it but I'd loved it so much I bought it again this year! If anything, it's even better this time as the neck is smaller and makes it a more comfortable fit.
Jane Baker - 49 days 4 hours ago
A nice, short, boxy cardigan cum jacket made from lovely soft wool that doesn't make you itch! Really pleased with this and it's a versatile colour. Can be worn casual or tidy. I went for a medium (I'm a generous size 16) and it's a perfect fit.
Miranda McIntyre - 52 days 7 hours ago
I really loved the look of this cardigan but the medium was too small (short in the arms, slightly pinched look) and the large was way too large! I think it may be me. I am a 14-16 because of broad shoulders - suspect the problem is me, not the cardigan. Gorgeous colour and feel but both sizes have had to be returned.
K Harrington - 53 days 5 hours ago
I was really pleased with this cardigan, it is lovely and warm. I am a size 12 however I opted for the small and was very glad I did as it is a perfect fit
Gillian Durrant - 56 days 3 hours ago
Very warm, and looks just like in the picture, except for the fit. It's much baggier than I thought it would be (I'm size 14 so bought a medium) kind of wish I'd bought a small now.
Karen Laura Randall - 57 days 18 hours ago
I bought this little cardigan and thought it was lovely quality. Unfortunately i had to return it as it was too short.
Kerry Hara - 58 days 4 hours ago
Lovely cardigan very well knitted suits any age group a timeless classic and a valuable addition to any wardrobe.. Really warm dont want to take it off
Jean Patricia Embleton - 59 days 4 hours ago
I have received by jacket and I am over the moon with it having deliberated for 2 years whether to buy it or not. Do not hesitate because it is really lovely and very warm, I am just about to go and sing in a very cold church here in Plymouth and I know with the weather to-day I shall be warm.
Anita Neill - 59 days 9 hours ago
The smallest size was too big for me so have returned which is a shame as it was a lovely material and colour .
DEIRDRE WISEMAN - 73 days 10 hours ago
GREAT CARDIGAN.......WONDERFUL STYLE/ FIT............WISH THAT YOU DID IT IN CREAM.....!
Morna McFadyen - 94 days 23 hours ago
This cardigan is perfect for this time of year. It dresses up a pair of jeans and is ideal for going out on chilly autumn days. The buttons add a touch of understated class. What a treat to be able to order quality items which are made in the UK. I look forward to placing further orders with Celtic.
klai stileman-jones - 95 days 10 hours ago
bought this for myself a couple of weeks ago and lost it to my daughter so have just bough another...I'm 44, she's 16....a great all rounder I'd say!
Sharon Farrier - 100 days 4 hours ago
Lovely prompt service, this lovely top is for my birthday in December and I can't wait to wear it, lovely colour, great style, soft wool, will go with a lot of colour. I shall be wearing it alot. Thanks so much.
Holly Taylor - 102 days 2 hours ago
I haven't taken this off since receiving it (very promptly). It is warm and cosy and looks great. It has been admired by friends and family. I'm very pleased with it.
rachel graham - 102 days 22 hours ago
Very prompt delivery and I am very happy with the box cardigan- it goes with practically everything I have . Perfect.
Kathleen Fortun - 103 days 22 hours ago
This is a super cardigan and very useful and practical. I bought it last year and wanted another this year but it is still only available in slate grey. Would like it in cream or light grey.
Gillian Hall - 104 days 4 hours ago
Love it. Soft warm and comfortable as well as being stylish. Amazingly it seems to go well with any colour. Would probably buy another if you had a choice of colours. Please make more styles in a short length.
Sabrina McEvoy - 104 days 22 hours ago
I bought this for my mum and she loves it.Can you please do it in at least one other colour-We thought mink or pale grey would be nice.Thank you
Anne Haig - 105 days 20 hours ago
I have been looking for good quality, modern knitwear for some months now and when your catalogue arrived it was ideal. I have ordered a number of items and received my box cardigan which is very stylish and well knitted in good quality wool. It looks really classy and can be worn as a casual or as a dress garment. I have had many good comments since wearing it. It feels good.
Jennifer Kennerley - 106 days 2 hours ago
Worn it just once. Not itchy. Not suffocatingly hot. Just looks super. I like the boxiness of it. First comment from a relative 'that's nice'. (Before, the hello, how are you).
I like to have a spare button or two, you tell me it just doesn't come with spares. Oh dear.
I shall be interested to see how it washes.
Liz - 106 days 5 hours ago
I have just received my box cardi. I am a size 8 and the small size is a perfect fit for me. This cardi is extremely flattering and I intend to wear it all winter. The delivery service is excellent too. Well done Celtic!
susanna maidwell - 109 days 2 hours ago
Totally love my new cardi plan to live in it this winter
kali Stileman-Jones - 112 days 9 hours ago
really lovely and has that hand made feel about it...great value too!
Rose - 113 days 10 hours ago
I love the jumper though it is a rather big fit. I think it's excellent value for money - you'd pay this for many acrylic fashion items which will look rubbish after a few washes, but this jumper looks like it should look good for years.
emma kimber - 114 days 10 hours ago
Impressive service (cardi arrived in less than 24 hours) and good product. Lovely colour and not itchy. Big fit and it seems to have 'relaxed' a little. Have to remember not to wear it every day now that it's chilly.
Monica Pickersgill - 118 days 22 hours ago
My cardi arived very quickly fter I ordered it as an exchange. I love its shape and softness. It will be a real favourite. I would support the suggestion of more colour choices. I also appreciate the follow-up from you, your concern that your customers enjoy their purchases.
Mrs Diane Turner - 120 days 0 hours ago
Ordered this cardi as a Christmas present for my granddaughter and as I am the same size as her tried it on to check the fit and think I may have to keep it for myself! Lovely colour and fit and smart too as it is a shorter style. Thank you for the quality and the excellent service.
A V Webster - 121 days 23 hours ago
Like the cardigan very much but think the upper part of the arms are a bit bulky1
Mrs Janet Ballinger - 122 days 9 hours ago
Iam very pleased with this cardy it goes perfectly with a few of my trousers and skirts good fit too not too big as I am 5ft 2ins
Helen Johns - 126 days 8 hours ago

Jane - 128 days 12 hours ago
Very pleased with my purchase, looks good and fits well! prompt service, very happy, will definately order more from Celtic Sheepskin!
Stephanie Bishop - 129 days 9 hours ago
I am very pleased with my cardi it is lovely and comfortable, great alternative to a jacket for cold days and weekend messing around. Perhaps a few more colour choices.
jocelyne winter - 142 days 8 hours ago
I have just received my cardi and I am very pleased with it. I will wear it with jeans at the week-end as well as with my silk grey and blue skirt for work. It is quite chunky and warm, so I expect that I will wear it mainly as a jacket. I love the texture and the colour, but it would be nice to have more colours on offer, such as fashionable camel or toffee colour.
Cathy Cheadle - 145 days 12 hours ago
Delighted with my cardi, will be great as a jacket substitute on a cold day, would be great in other colours.
Brenda Wilkinson - 147 days 4 hours ago
Pleased, nice fit, good quality, am hoping to wear it as part of a formal outfit, goes nicely with a blouse and skirt. I wasn't keen on the buttons, they did not go with my colour scheme of grey and plum so am changing them, otherwise am very pleased.
J Whittaker - 147 days 12 hours ago
Really pleased with the cardi - lovely chunky knit,cosy and warm,and a beautiful colour that will go with everything.I wore it to meet a friend and the first thing she said was“I love your cardi”.
It has a lovely smell of new wool too!
Diana Holden - 148 days 4 hours ago
Really pleased with cardi, super quality, can't wait to wear it.
Mrs Susan Hirst - 149 days 20 hours ago
Wonderfully chunky knit, I wore this on a very blowy cold afternoon. It kept me warm
without the need for a coat. Thanks again for yet another well made product.

LINDA HASNEY - 150 days 8 hours ago
LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE i'VE BOUGHT FROM CELTIC SHEEPSKIN,FABULOUS QUALITY AND DESIGN.
WOULD LIKE OTHER COLOURS SO I COULD BUY SOME MORE.
Annie Jones - 151 days 4 hours ago
Checked out the reviews before purchasing and have to agree with them all. Great product, great sizing and a pleasure to wear. Has encouraged me to buy more from you. Thanks.
Deanna Sandy - 151 days 8 hours ago
I'm really pleased thus chunky cardigan. I am a size 14 but bought the large size because I wanted it to look - well- chunky. Looks good over a roll neck or a silk blouse. Wore it last week but had to take it off because it was too hot! (after this summer- unbelievable ). Roll on winter I say.
Janette Osborne - 152 days 10 hours ago
Fantastic. Just what I wanted for the autumn/winter. It is nice to find quality at a reasonable price these days.
S Gibson - 153 days 2 hours ago
I have had several compliments on my cardi! I love it and it's very warm. It can be worn to work or with jeans. I might have to get another one in a different colour as they say, 'If it's perfect- buy two!'
Jan Thomas - 154 days 2 hours ago
I ordered this because it looked stylish, roomy, relaxed and warm...I have not been disappointed. It's by no means a tight fit, but then it's not supposed to be. I'm very happy with the purchase and as a result, will be buying other items.
Helen McQueen - 155 days 0 hours ago
Really pleased with this cardigan. Good fit and looks really nice. Delivery was prompt and I would recommend your company to anyone. Many thanks
karen bowen - 155 days 3 hours ago
This is very stretchy. I ordered a medium and,even with my large bust, it looked huge on me. I have sent it back for a small which I hope will fit better. Apart from the size, it was a lovely soft knit and I'm looking forward to getting my replacement
Susan Reynolds - 156 days 2 hours ago
A lovely soft cardigan, that fits well. I'll wear this again and again! I particularly like the way the top folds back on itself just like the picture!
jean butcher - 157 days 4 hours ago
More than satisfied with this cardigan. Feels warm and soft and very stylish. Looking forward to wearing it in the coming winter months.
Lynne Richardson - 157 days 10 hours ago
Really love this cardigan. Beautiful quality - I bought the small size and would have liked it just a little smaller fit, but there is plenty of room to put something under it. I know that I shall be wearing it a lot
Mrs Avis Doman - 161 days 6 hours ago
Fits perfectly. Size as described. Beautiful and soft well made Cardigan.
Jean Latham - 168 days 3 hours ago
Excellent cardi and great fit. British too. Will order again.
Chris Woods - 169 days 8 hours ago
Love it! It's lovely quality and I can see I shall wear it for years - instantly a favourite item. Before I ordered, I compared it to similar in High Street, cardies that look the same but are actually made in China and made of an acrylic mix, so I'm so pleased this is British made and real wool. It's also a pretty good price I think. If anything I think it is even nicer than on the website photo - love it!
Christine Parmenter - 171 days 20 hours ago
Lovely top-quality garment. Good fit I'm sure I'll be wearing it lots in the coming months.
Deborah Brame - 172 days 6 hours ago
Lovely cardigan which I will really enjoy wearing.
It is a bit big for me as I am a size 8 but I will just have to eat more pies??!!!
valerie scott - 172 days 7 hours ago
Delighted with the cardigan. Telephoned to check sizing before ordering and was advised cardigan was quite roomy so ordered small and it is a perfect fit. Really good quality and love the buttons. Looks and feels good.
Jacqueline preis - 188 days 8 hours ago
I loved this cardigan from the moment it arrived. Perfect fit and has been much admired. I have had mine for over a year and I'm hardly ever without it in winter. I have washed it several times on the “Hand Wash” cycle in my washing machine and it's been fine. It would be lovely if we could have it in some other colours too. For me it's been good value for money.
Mrs Gail Pessol - 198 days 3 hours ago
This has to be the warmest cardigan in the world! I wouldn't be without it. If we could have some more colours please?
jean m christian - 203 days 3 hours ago
This is a lovely cardigan. Fits beautifully and I am very pleased with it.
Dolina Coventry - 386 days 0 hours ago
Love everything about this cardigan. It is warm, soft, looks good and fits well. It is perfect to wear with denim for a casual look.
Brenda Crowther - 397 days 11 hours ago
When I took this out of the box I thought it looked lovely, and it is very comfortable to wear. Tt is a shame that the sleeves are a little short to make it snug for a winter sweater. Also the seams were not finished off properly and I had to pull a few threads through to the wrong side before wearing. I shall wash it carefully as I feel the wool is not too stable. It might be best to put the price up a few pounds so the sleeves are not skimped on. My neighbour had the same trouble with a coat.
Barbara Wilshere - 426 days 4 hours ago
I'm in love with this cardi!
annie hancock - 436 days 8 hours ago
A wonderfully warm garment - so much so that I can't seem to take it off!!
Sarah Banfield - 460 days 21 hours ago
I bought this jumper and washed it on a wool cycle, sadly it shrunk and now I only wear it around the house when on my own. I regret washing it.
C. Knox - 499 days 6 hours ago
Received this in my order today; tried it on and I love it! Fits perfectly, beautifully knit, great color. Look forward to showing it off.
Rosemary Owen - 692 days 22 hours ago
