Guernsey Sweaters English Speakers: Jumper, Pullover, Sweater, Jersey, Guernsey Or Something Else?

English Speakers: Jumper, Pullover, Sweater, Jersey, Guernsey or something else? - guernsey sweaters

What is the most common word for a point, of wool or cotton in clothing for extra warmth to be used in the world?

In Australia, where I live, "Jumper" seems to be the most common word.

What to use for a word, and where you live?
