Woollies turned up on large romantic couple (9)

I believe the answer is:

pullovers

'woollies' is the definition.
(wool garments)

'turned up on large romantic couple' is the wordplay.
'turned' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'up on' becomes 'up' (similar in meaning).
'large' becomes 'L' (eg in clothes sizes).
'romantic couple' becomes 'lovers' (a romantic couple are lovers).
'up' back-to-front is 'pu'.
'pu'+'l'+'lovers'='PULLOVERS'

I've seen this clue in The Times.
