Just some information for everyone who is planning to buy a traditional Guernsey jumper:

Guernsey woollens are made from 2 ends of 2 ply wool, so it is essentially 4 ply jumper.

Channel jumpers are knitted with a double 4ply wool, so it is essentially 8 ply jumper.

Le Tricoteur Guernsey are knitted with a double 5ply wool, so it is essentially 10 ply jumper.
Interesting. As I mentioned I have both Le Tric and Guernsey Woollens versions of the Guernsey and I have not found any differences of quality between them over the years.

What decision did you make about your purchase?
