Rowan

Mode at Rowan. With quality at their core, our six new yarns each have their own distinct characteristics and styles. From our super fine, delicately fluffy Alpaca Haze to our incredibly soft Softest Alpaca, each yarn has been developed to be easy to knit and luxurious in feel.

Rowan started life above a grocery store in a village near Huddersfield, in West Yorkshire, England. While initially specialising in weaving supplies and knitting kits, founders Stephen Sheard and Simon Cockin wanted to produce yarn which was both high quality and perfect for the hand-knitting design trends of the time. Their business focus was to showcase natural fibres in a paint-box colour palette, and so Lightweight DK was born with 98 shades.

They placed the utmost value on providing yarn shades which could be translated into timeless design, and these values are still at the core of Rowan today. In 1982, a chance meeting between Stephen Sheard and Kaffe Fassett steered Rowan in a new direction—to creating designer-led projects for our growing number of followers.

About Rowan

Rowan started in 1978 in a small village near Huddersfield in England with a simple idea: to create the highest quality yarn, inspired by natural fibres and a rich colour palette. Founders Stephen Sheard and Simon Cockin wanted to offer hand knitting yarn that was both beautiful and timeless, which led to their first success, Lightweight DK with a whopping 98 shades.

Rowan's philosophy is to combine natural materials with colors and patterns that stand the test of time. A meeting with designer Kaffe Fassett in 1982 was the starting point for Rowan's journey towards becoming a pioneer in design-led projects, something that we at Tant Hulda appreciate and are proud to share with our customers.
