Description
West Yorkshire Spinners Retreat
It is with a real sense of achievement that we launch the latest addition to our best of British yarns collection – Re:treat. With a roving quality and a soft twist that glides off the needles, Re:treat creates smooth, light fabrics with a luxurious silky texture. Re:treat proudly bears the new British Wool logo, a guarantee that it is British to the core from sheep to showroom. The wool selected to make Re:treat comes from an exciting cross breed of Bluefaced Leicester – famous in British hand knitting for its soft handle – and Kerry Hill – renown for its distinctive markings and clean white fleece.
Our craftsmen have used all of their expertise to transform the Bluefaced Kerry Hill fleece into one of West Yorkshire Spinners’ most beautiful and exciting new yarns. Spun with skill and care, Re:treat proudly flies the flag for the unbeatable quality of British yarn today.
