Shown as a calendar of events we track the evolution of a design from initial yarn development, trend information, design formulation and colour selection through to first sample and then to photography. Written by Juliet Bernard and with still life photography by Gisella Torres. How to wear: Here we take six designs from the stories within the magazine and style them on real people from three different age groups - 20's, 40's and 60's. This will show women how they can wear our garments irrespective of what age they happen to be. Written by Kathryn Samuel, photographed by Gisella Torres and styled by Emma Freemantle. The New Generation: This feature introduces the five students who were commissioned to design all the accessories shown in the magazine. Each student outlines their career history to date and is photographed with each of their designs. Written by Juliet Bernard and photographed by Gisella Torres.

Our staff have had many years experience of working with Rowan yarns. Rowan designs never date but sometimes the colours and qualities that were once the original designs, have to be substituted; we can advise on the nearest shades. We stock the entire Rowan handknitting range. Please see our Rowan stock list.
