The other store in Ireland where I got a sweater off the sale rack for I think 70 Euros was this one:

https://www.sweatershop.com/sales-items

I don't know what the shipping costs, but these are nice sweaters. My friend took a picture of me in the new sweater, it's a dress and I wore it over a turtleneck and loose flowy pants.

I fell in love with several offerings from https://pakaapparel.com

Buttery soft and temperature regulating, some of their stuff has synthetics woven in for fit and shape, but many use sustainably manufactured tencel, etc. to make them all-natural. They support the Peruvian women who make them with a truly living wage.

Awesome company and fantastic products.

Here is another brand, One of these outer shirts was given to a presenter last night as a gift. The clothing looks remarkable in person, the website doesn't do it justice.

You may love this as much as I do, but it is royal alpaca not merino wool. It's lighter than merino, softer than merino, and better temperature regulating than merino. And this is from a guy who loves merino. PAKA Apparel is doing great things. They're sustainable and pay a living wage to the Peruvian artisans, all of them women, who produce the wool. The product I would recommend to you is the Breathe hoodie though it is a blend of alpaca fiber and a thin pima cotten underlayer. It still wicks great and doesn't get stinky. If you want something with no cotton, look at the 65 percent alpaca unisex Hoodie. They are both amazingly great products, but the Breathe is machine washable, and the regular Hoodie isn't.

I have been searching for a really good quality, machine washable, hang to dry, wool hoodie (for hopefully under $200 - a girl can dream) for a few years now.

Thanks for your recommendations. But have another one, give a try to https://merinoprotect.com/. I assure you that after using their products you will become fan of them. I am using from the last 2 years and I am highly satisfied.
