Rowan is an internationally renowned design-led luxury handknit yarn company, producing two pattern collections a year to support their portfolio of premium yarns.

Rowan was first established in 1978 by two Yorkshire men, Stephen Sheard and Simon Cockin. Initially with offices based above a grocery store, the business soon moved to Holmfirth, where the Rowan team still work to this day.

They are an ethically conscious brand, with an emphasis on creating luxury, premium yarns sourced from organic, natural fibres.

Rowan’s ethos has always been to inspire and teach people the joy of knitting – whether  a beginner or advance knitter.  They’re also passionate about creating inspirational and desirable handknit design. Although their designs reflect the fashion trends of the time they have become classics, with designs of the past still being worn today.

Out of their range of yarns we stock :

Denim Revive – There is something so special about denim yarn, and Denim Revive has an added dimension, thanks to its sustainable credentials. Made from recycled cotton fibres that give Denim Revive an almost tweedy effect, the capsule colour palette of muted shades contains the classic denim shades but goes beyond the blues to include chalky white, soft red, and midnight black. A perfect choice for lace, cables, or even a traditional gansey.
