This is the 78th issue of the Rowan Magazine and this season we are delighted to bring you Rowan Magazine 78: Emerge, a refreshed magazine with a new look and feel. It is packed full of design - there are two design stories - Coastal Catwalk and Kid Classic Love – plus a few good reads.
The Coastal Catwalk story explores the concept of grouping together knitwear which can be worn as a full outfit or individual pieces. Designers Martin Storey, Lisa Richardson, Georgia Farrell and Chloe Thurlow bring you their cleverly curated ensemble knits, all available in a choice of two colourways. The second design story, Kid Classic Love is a heartfelt celebration of this beloved yarn. In this special collection, marking 25 years in the Rowan yarn range, Lisa Richardson, Martin Storey, and Chloe Thurlow show their admiration with ten stunning new designs.

Rowan Magazine 76 is a celebration of the heartland of Rowan, told through one captivating story, ‘Heritage’. Our designers looked to our Yorkshire roots for the inspiration for this story, the instantly recognizable landscape being synonymous with Rowan. From charming stone buildings, cobbled streets and drystone 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, showcasing texture and colourwork, set against the background of this majestic Yorkshire landscape.

Rowan Magazine 75
by Martin Storey, ARNE & CARLOS, Quail Studio, Lisa Richardson, Kaffe Fassett, Erika Knight, Georgia Farrell, Vibe Ulrik, Annika Andrea Wolke, Brandon Mably, Chloe Thurlow
Rowan Magazine 75 takes us on a knitting journey from the historic Sheffield Botanic Gardens in Yorkshire to a sun-drenched vineyard in the south of France.
Over 40 designs from your favourite Rowan designers using a wide range of spring summer yarns. We begin in Yorkshire with our Botanic Garden story. Summer silhouettes and lightweight layers are key to this collection, including tops, sweaters, cardigans and shawls. Taking inspiration from botanical gardens – from the plants to the glass structures – our designers have created fabrics using texture, lace, colourwork and embroidery in a palette of greens, neutrals and pops of bright florals.
Slip Into Summer is a story of modern summer knits which celebrate the slip stitch technique. Even in their simplest form, slip stitches can create unique multicolour patterns and here designers Lisa Richardson, Martin Storey and Georgia Farrell explore the endless possibilities resulting in a beautiful collection of garments and accessories using Summerlite 4ply and Creative Linen.
Rowan Magazine 74
In Rowan Magazine 74 we are shining 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 we explore our 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.
