Rowan Magazine 74

Tomorrow is the big day. Rowan Magazine #74 launches. This issue is amazing.

In Rowan Magazine 74 we are shining a spotlight on two yarns – the first being a firm favourite that has been in the Rowan range for nearly a quarter of a century, Felted Tweed, and new kid on the block, Fine Tweed Haze.

Felted Tweed My Way celebrates this very special yarn whilst championing the individuality of the Rowan design team. This is a yarn which is as fantastic for bold and brilliant colour work as for a classic one colour sweater. Lisa Richardson, Martin Storey, Kaffe Fassett, Quail Studio, Georgia Farrell, Chloe Thurlow, Vibe Ulrik, Erika Knight and ARNE & CARLOS do Felted Tweed their way, resulting in a wonderfully eclectic mix of designs and styles which is synonymous with Rowan. 

In Fine Tweed Haze we explore our new yarn which is a lightweight version of much-loved Tweed Haze. With a modern tweed look, punctuated with flecks of contrasting colours, it is as perfect for one-colour designs as it is for Fair Isle and slip stitch.

Designers Martin Storey, Lisa Richardson, Georgia Farrell, Chloe Thurlow and Quail Studio have created a classic collection of versatile garments and accessories, whilst exploring interesting stitch work and techniques, including top down and in the round.

Here are the garments in the brand new yarn - Fine Tweed Haze.

The yarn will be on the website tomorrow morning.  

Mr. UPS brought in two boxes from Madelinetosh this morning. I started making more Alpine Bloom Hat kits. These are on the website. I will try and make more tomorrow. Most of my day was spent unpacking and then packing boxes to get Rowan 74 out to everyone who preordered.



Now it’s knitting time. My brain needs to slow down before bed.
