Coming very soon from Rowan.
Rowan 50.
This is a lushly photographed collection that will have you slowly leafing through more than 100 pages of designs and articles with another 100 pages plus dedicated to instructions. Each of the three distinct design stories - Wildwood, Finesse and Winter Essentials - brings a broad range of styles, sizes and techniques.
Wildwood uses the autumnal colors of rural Britain in its heirloom arans, finely detailed intarsia and FairIsle floral sweaters, and richly striped wraps. Finesse uses retro influences from the late 1950’s and early 1960’s for a collection that heralds a return to feminine curves and classical understatement. Winter Essentials takes the fashionable shapes and textures of the coming autumn/winter ready-to-wear collections and simplifies them making them accessible to knitters.
Nordic Tweed.
21 designs using Rowan's new yarns Rowan Tweed, Fine Tweed, Colourspun and Kid Classic.
Purelife Home.
A collection of 14 knitted and crocheted patterns for the home.
Dalesmen.
15 designs for men in a variety of yarns including Lima, Felted Tweed and Big Wool.
Winter Warmers.
32 designs featuring garments, homewares and accessories using new Alpaca Chunky and Lima.
