Hello, and welcome to April’s online newsletter, exclusively available to members.


As we welcome in a new month here at the mill, we are beginning to think about summer sunshine, cottons and airy linen; starting a new project at this time of year is just inevitable! The only problem is, choosing which design, and then which shade to use!


This issue might help you in that way – with a beautiful free design, and our top picks of the best spring knits from Rowan. We also hear about Rowan Designer Josh Bennett’s exciting new ventures, preview the new Rowan Studio collection and take a look at the manufacturing process of our recycled yarn, Rowan Purelife Revive.


We hope you enjoy your April issue. The Rowan Team
