About Rowan

Rowan was founded in 1978 by Stephen Sheard and Simon Cockin in a small shop above a grocer's near Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. The brand played a defining role in shaping the modern hand-knitting world, most notably through its celebrated collaboration with designer Kaffe Fassett from 1982 and the launch of Rowan Magazine in 1986. Today Rowan is internationally recognised for its luxurious natural-fibre yarns, including the iconic Kidsilk Haze.

Popular for: Luxury Yorkshire yarns, famed for Kidsilk Haze and artistic patterns
