Rowan Knitting and Crochet Magazine No. 76 (ZM76)

Our designers looked to the heritage of Rowan and its Yorkshire roots for the inspiration for this story. The Yorkshire landscape is synonymous with Rowan. From charming stone buildings, cobbled streets and dry stone walls, to the bracken and heather of the open moors, it is a seasonal and ever-changing landscape rich in inspiration. The result is a carefully crafted story of beautiful knits, a showcase of texture and colourwork, set against the background of this majestic Yorkshire landscape.
