is an internationally renowned handknitting company, whose reputation for inspirational and creative handknit design is unsurpassed. Rowan was started in the early 1980’s and with the help of designer Kaffe Fassett, Rowan began to produce handknitting yarns in beautiful colours.
Today Rowan publishes its acclaimed magazine twice a year offering knitters both a Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter collection. Contributing to these magazines are many acclaimed freelance designers such as Kaffe Fassett, Erika Knight, Martin Storey, Jean Moss, Sarah Dallas as well as a highly creative in-house team led by head designer Marie Wallin. In addition to this Rowan publishes many dedicated yarn brochures and books throughout the year.
The Rowan ethos over the years has always been to create inspirational and desirable handknit design. Although the designs reflect the fashion trends of the time, the garments have become classics, with designs of the past still being worn today.
