First published in 1986 and collected by avid knitters ever since, the Rowan Knitting Magazine has become Rowan’s signature. The over-sized format, inspiring photography by some of the world’s best at the time, the quality paper—all shaped this exclusive volume. Produced twice each year, it’s still eagerly anticipated by knitters and collectors around the world. Old issues are sought after, often at very high prices.
In Rowan Magazine Issue 74, Rowan shines 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 colourwork as for a classic one colour sweater. The designers do Felted Tweed their way, resulting in a wonderfully eclectic mix of designs and styles which is synonymous with Rowan.
In Fine Tweed Haze they explore their 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. The designers explore interesting stitch work and techniques, including top down and in the round.
Featuring designers Martin Storey, ARNE & CARLOS, Quail Studio, Lisa Richardson, Kaffe Fassett, Erika Knight, Georgia Farrell, Vibe Ulrik, Chloe Thurlow.
Includes 41 designs to make.
