Rowan Knitting & Crochet Magazine 43

new Spring 2008 season is
inspired by a return to simplicity. The need for clothing which is becoming
comfortable to wear but also made from basic and classic materials is becoming

quality reflect this trend and handknitting is the perfect muse for this. As
fashion moves torwards simpler and cleaner forms, the real trend for the season
is based on colour. This is the season of the palest neutrals , warn sun dried
brights and library greys. To reflect these trends, Rowan is promoting three
stories Heavenly, Weekender and Elemental. Each of the stories is styled in a
simple, wearable way which helps showcase the beautiful designs featured within
the magazine.

Cotton Glace, Kidsilk Haze, Kidsilk Spray, Kidsilk Night, 4ply Cotton, Bamboo

The
new Autumn Winter season heralds a focus on the aesthetics of yarns – their
texture, beauty and colour. Mohair is the important fibre of the season, as well
as loose hand spun type roving yarns which add a home made feel. Inspiration for
garment design comes from the return to everything natural with emphasis on the
homely, cosy and hand made looks. Rowan is promoting three stories for Autumn
Winter 2007: Tundra, Highlander and Reflection Each of the stories is
delightfully styled to inspire the knitter and introduces garments which are
both beautiful and very wearable. This season sees the launch of an exciting new
yarn within the magazine: ‘Cocoon’ is a lovely chunky wool and mohair roving
yarn which has the appearance of a home spun yarn. ‘Cocoon’ will be
available in ten beautiful nature inspired shades.
Yarns covered include: Cocoon,
Big Wool, Little Big Wool, Kid Classic, Country, Wool Cotton, Kidsilk Haze,
Felted Tweed, 4 Ply Soft, Tapestry, Scottish Tweed DK, Kidsilk Night and Romance.

Rowan Knitting & Crochet Magazine 41
This season we take you on a
voyage of discovery that captures the romantic and nostalgic sides of the
British summertime, in Secret Garden and Promenade, and adds a hint of Moroccan
spice with the designs and location in Medinas and Minarets as we travel through
the Soukhs and bazaars looking for inspiration. This season we have used
different photographers for each of our stories to bring you three very
different looks to explore. In Recreation Lisa Richardson and Rachel Henderson
show us how to rejuvenate jumpers that have been languishing at the back of your
wardrobe or turn that high street bargain into a one-off look. In Lazy Days
Marie Wallin and Sarah Hatton have created homeware pieces such as a garden
table runner and tea light holders that will add a highlight to outdoor living.
Finally we revisit a very popular technique, short row shaping, essential to
create the asymmetric and flared looks in designs such as the beautiful skirt,
Wisteria.
