Welcome the latest addition to West Yorkshire Spinners stable of quality British yarns - Retreat. With a roving quality and a soft twist that glides off the needles, Retreat creates smooth, light fabrics with a luxurious silky texture. Retreat 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 Retreat 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.
Their 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, Retreat proudly flies the flag for the unbeatable quality of British yarn today.
