This is the new super-chunky version of the Retreat roving yarn, and it has been designed with winter knits in mind. It knits up into a plump, warm fabric; the Bluefaced Kerry Hill wool gives it a lustrous glow, and the stitches bloom with washing. Chloé Elizabeth Birch has designed a book of clothing and homeware projects to accompany the yarn launch.
