What Retrosaria (Rosa Pomar) is known for
Textile researcher Rosa Pomar opened this yarn shop to work directly with Portuguese shepherds, spinning wool from native and near-extinct breeds such as the Bordaleira and Churra into yarns sold nowhere else. The shop also stocks pattern books and notions for the traditional Portuguese knitting and embroidery techniques Pomar has spent years documenting.
