Where to buy good quality knitware in Germany
I'm thinking about getting some nicer quality knitware to what I currently have mainly looking into submariners/shetlands/aran or fair isle sweaters at the moment. I was thinking about spending around 100 Euros and waiting until stuff gets cheaper again in later winter. I've seen some stores like Boise and Jamiesons which I liked but sadly they are based in the UK and import duties are a pain. Any stores/stockist or brands I should be on the lookout for?

Inis Meaín (https://inismeain.ie/) is in Ireland so at least that's in the EU and they also have some EU stockists. In Germany I know of Heimat textil (https://heimat-textil.com/) and Merz B. Schwanen (https://merzbschwanen.com/de_DE). There is also Hansen from Denmark (https://hansengarmentsstore.com) and Howlin' is not made there but is actually a Belgian brand (this is their store: https://morrison.be/collections/howlin). Howlin' on sale should be achievable for a bit more than 100€ I think, Cultizm usually has pretty good sales on them. All of those brands have a bunch of stockists in the EU. Finally, Armed Angels (https://armedangels.de) is another german option that is decent (but less high quality than the others I mentioned).
I'm also pretty happy with the APC and Norse Projects knitwear that I own and both of those brands should be findable for around 50% off during sales (I wouldn't pay full price)
Thanks for the detailed list it's much appriciated
You can get Jamiesons on end clothing without any import tax mess they deliver duty paid.
At least that’s been my experience.
I bought a nice fisherman sweater from aran.com
Sounds good thanks. I will be looking into it
end makes you pay for returns which can add up quick nowdays going to the uk so be sure about your orders there
I think I narrowed my choices down to 1 Fair Isle Sweater in something like brown + some off white sweater like an Arran or Submarinner
ah good to know. Esp if I order something else than a sweater

Really nice of you to send me those. It does show that one can find good things on ebay

no I have not bought anything
ah well, it was a good deal, no wonder it sold quite fast.
