Knitting Magazine No. 42 for Autumn/Winter 2007 from Rowan Yarns

		MAGAZINE 42	Kidsilk Haze
Rowan Knitting and Crochet Magazine No. 42 (ZM42) features handknitting and crochet designs from Marie Wallin, Kaffe Fassett, Sarah Hatton, Sarah Dallas, Erika Knight, Stephanie White, Nina Chakkour, Cathy Carron, Anna Tillman, Sharon Miller, Jennie Atkinson, Lisa Richardson, Antoni & Alison, WeardOwney, Carol Meldrum, Leah Sutton, and Brandon Mably. The new Autumn Winter season heralds a focus on the aesthetics of yarns - their texture, beauty and colour. Mohair is the important fibre of the season, as well as loose hand spun type roving yarns which add a home made feel. Inspiration for garment design comes from the return to everything natural with emphasis on the homely, cosy and hand made looks. Rowan is promoting three stories for Autumn/Winter 2007: Tundra, Highlander and Reflection. Each of the stories is delightfully styled to inspire the knitter and introduces garments which are both beautiful and very wearable. Order Magazine 42.
		This season sees the launch of an exciting new yarn within the magazine: `Cocoon', is a lovely chunky wool and mohair roving yarn which has the appearance of a home spun yarn. `Cocoon' is available in ten beautiful nature inspired shades. Featured Yarns: Cocoon, Big Wool, Little Big Wool, Kid Classic, Country, Wool Cotton, Kidsilk Haze, Felted Tweed, 4 Ply Soft, Tapestry, Scottish Tweed DK, Kidsilk Night and Romance.

EARTH STOLE	Kidsilk Haze
Story 1 - Tundra is inspired is by the icy wildernesses of the Arctic regions. The colour direction comes from the shades found in such austere and dramatic landscapes. These combine together to produce a palette of natural tones ranging from stone through to darker browns, and ice grey through to anthracite. Fashion direction is inspired by the need to wrap up and protect ones self from the elements. The Tundra collection includes chunky wraps and shrugs, warm cardigans and traditionally inspired sweaters. Dramatically photographed in the wild landscapes of Scotland by Chris Bracewell and beautifully styled by Louise Sykes. Order Magazine 42.
		EARTH DRESS	Kidsilk Haze
		Story 2 - Highlander is inspired by the soft mid tone colours found in the Scottish Highlands in the autumn. A natural colour range from the earthy mixtures of lichen, leaves and berries, combine to create a story which is traditionally inspired with a slight eccentric twist. The Highlander collection has a natural home made feel and includes designs ranging from a chunky jacket and a fair isle inspired dress to cosy cabled socks. Magically photographed and styled at the beautiful Cawdor Estate in the Scottish Highlands by Kristin Perers. Order Magazine 42.
FLEET	Country
Story 3 - Reflection is inspired by the sleek, sharp, modern lines of contemporary architecture. The reflections of shapes and movement in modern glass help to create a story which is glamorous, dark and mysterious. Colour direction comes from the sober steel greys found in modern buildings, which in turn are brought to life with highlights of Iavender, off white and bronze. The Reflection collection reflects the glamour of the story with designs ranging from beautifully shaped cardigans and sweaters to sexy tunics and dresses. Order Magazine 42.

How to Wear Colour: This feature shows how colour affects us all and which colours best suit us. A colour analyst assessed each member of the design team resulting in their own personal set of colours. Each team member then chose a design from within the magazine which has then been re-coloured into their own colour spectrum. This fun feature is photographed by Chris Bracewell at the Rowan mill in Holmfirth and is a great chance to not only to meet the team behind the beautiful Rowan publications but also to gain an insight into how colour can alter our perceptions of people.

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.
