Rowan
Rowan produce a large range of luxurious hand knitting yarns featuring premium fibers, all in a diversely rich and authentic color palette. The Rowan range is regularly updated with corresponding patterns.
The name Rowan was inspired by the beautiful shrubs lining the banks of the river Holme in Yorkshire in northern England, an area deeply entwined in textile heritage and tradition. The founders wanted to produce knitting yarns, which were both quality and perfect for the design trends of the time, showcasing an array of natural fibers in a paintbox color palette. They placed the utmost value on providing yarn shades which could be translated into timeless design, and these values are still at the core of Rowan today.
