The stable of designers used this season has been expanded to include internationally renowned Antoni and Alison, Clare Tough and also Kid Acne, each being exciting additions to an already strong collection of designers. We have retained the excellent styling and photographic flair of Emma Freemantle, stylist and Gisella Toress, photographer who we introduced last season. Joey Toller has continued to contribute to the magazine by photographing Urban Legends along side a young fresh stylist named Harris Elliott.

The shoot concentrated around one location in the South of England and one in central London with 3 stories:

Story 1 - Eco-Romantic - a very strong, traditional knitwear story for both men and women, taking its influences from the British landscape. Yarns concentrate on natural fibres and appearances, tweeds and plaids with accents of shine, shapes are traditional with a quirky twist in areas for that element of surprise, using asymmetry and unusual fastenings. Photographed by Gisella Toress and styled by Emma Freemantle. Earthy shades have been used in 4ply Soft, Kidsilk Haze, Yorkshire Tweed, Plaid, Big Wool Tuft, Wool Cotton, Kid Classic, Chunky Print, Lurex Shimmer, Felted Tweed.

Story 2 - Expressive Elegance - a story which captivates the essence of luxury, it has a feel of the past with a modern twist, whilst also being set in surroundings to reflect this feeling. Colours are intensely desirable; shapes are fitted and classic, hinting at vintage influences but with a modern twist therefore keeping the collection in line with today's fashion influences. Felting, micro textures and detailing are strong; fastenings, buttons and trims become statements of individuality. Photographed by Gisella Toress and styled by Emma Freemantle. Featuring Kidsilk Haze, Felted Tweed, Yorkshire Tweed, 4ply Soft, Kid Classic and Wool Cotton.

Our staff have had many years experience of working with Rowan yarns. Rowan designs never date but sometimes the colours and qualities that were once the original designs, have to be substituted; we can advise on the nearest shades.

We stock the entire Rowan handknitting range. Please see our Rowan stock list.
