Rothbury Rollneck
This is a classic long sleeved chunky turtleneck in stocking stitch with a shaped shoulder detail and double thick rollneck.
This is a drop shoulder design with fully-fashioned detailing available in multiple sizes ( see table in photograph or below to select your size and fit)
Rothbury is a great blank classic body to get creative with. Use a hero yarn; add your own creative flair, experiment with colour blocking, fairisle or intarsia pattern work. The body has been designed with 4 inches of positive ease, however If you want a more roomy fit go up a size or two from your usual size.
I’ve graded this wardrobe essential to fit from a 32 inch chest up to a 50 inch chest, with options given for a bespoke fit.
