THIS HANDSOME round-necked sweater for men has a stretchy, comfortable ribbed fabric, which incorporates a cable check pattern around the chest for added interest. Helen Metcalfe’s design is knitted in Re:Treat, a chunky-weight British wool from West Yorkshire Spinners. This is a roving-style yarn using fleece from a Bluefaced Leicester-Kerry Hill cross-breed, and has a soft, smooth feel. It’s available in 15 warm, solid shades, plus two marled colourways.
