Rowan Knitting & Crochet Magazine #47

Whispers of all things feminine encircle Spring Summer 2010, with elegance, vintage and drape being the central qualities.  

Natural, sustainable yarns are fast becoming the norm and not the exception.  Hemp, linen and corn provide heavier, rustic textures, whereas sumptuous silk and viscose tease with their perfect fluidity, stitch definition and understated shine.  

We also see the much anticipated emergence of recycled yarns, groundbreaking in the form of silk, cotton and viscose. These trends are reflected in the following three stories: Serenity, Halcyon Days and Jamboree.

Rowan yarns used:  Kidsilk Haze, Summer Tweed, Lenpur Linen, Milk Cotton Fine, Pima Cotton DK, Cotton Glace, Milk Cotton DK, Handknit Cotton, Organic Cotton Naturally Dyed DK, Organic Cotton Naturally Dyed 4 Ply.

Includes 43 patterns.

Designers:  Marie Wallin, Jennie Atkinson, Sarah Hatton, Erika Knight, Martin Storey, Brandon Mably, Sarah Dallas, Antoni & Alison, Amanda Crawford, Kaffe Fassett.
