Rowan 37 Preview
The preview is up at English Yarns!
I love the cami on the front page and can see making it up in black and wearing a bright tank underneath it in shades of fuschia and orange. Another tank -- Hobo -- has some really pretty edging detail.
They also have a new yarn line -- Rowan Cotton Rope -- and a new pattern line called RYC. Cotton Rope is a 55% cotton 45% acrylic yarn knit on 6mm (US #10). Here's a color card. Interestingly, the sherbet colors so popular last year still show through, although a bit darker than last year's varieties.
You'll also find 2 new pattern books from Jaeger. Interestingly, one of the patterns looks identical to Birch (at least by the pic I see online).
Regarding trends, the preppy pink and green is still there, as well as some brighter summer colors. And of course, the classic Rowan neutrals have a strong presence, too.
Hi Jody,
It's nice to find another Philly area knit blogger who's waiting for the new Rowan stuff! There are a number of things I'm already dreaming of knitting. BTW, I admire your fortitude in confronting your stash, I can't seem to get the strength to stop buying!
The new Rowan is really tasty -- I just picked it up today! I'm in love with the cami/dress on the cover, and I'm also loving the all the jacket/cardigan type things.
I just bought the yarn to knit that butterfly dress! I started knitting the lace trim. Wooooo its something! I was thinking of wearing it with bright colors underneath too!
