Hello everyone, and welcome to our


June edition!


We had a beautiful end to May here in Yorkshire, bathed in lovely sunshine (which can be quite a rare occurrence around our neck of the woods!). We are now looking forward with huge excitement to the launch of our new Rowan Knitting & Crochet Magazine 52 – which launches July 15th. We are really pleased and proud of this collection, we hope you feel the same!


Back to the present now, this issue looks at the mohair fibre and its qualities, catches up with retailer ‘A Good Yarn,’ and looks at our best picks for wedding outfits. We also bring you news of some beautifully sweet embellishment projects using our Kidsilk Creation Stripe yarn.


Last but not least, we bring you a brand new free pattern by Sarah Hatton using the lovely Summerspun yarn. We hope you enjoy your new issue.
