50g | 175m/191yds 119301 Z036000
Birch Code | Rowan Code
Ask any Rowan fan for their favourite yarn and there’s a good chance it’ll be Felted Tweed. Spun in a light DK weight, with a beautiful tweed effect and an amazing 50+ colours to choose from, it’s a Fair Isle knitter’s dream. But that’s not all. The magical combination of 50% lightly-felted wool, 25% viscose and 25% alpaca makes it supremely blockable and a gorgeous option for lacework as a result. Or knit it in garter stitch for a drapey, squishable fabric that is cosy, but light and easy to wear. Choose from nature-inspired shades ranging from cool watery tones to warming cherry red and fiery ginger and prepare to fall in love! Now available in special colourways chosen by world-renowned designer Kaffe Fassett.

Felted Tweed Colour
50% Wool | 25% Viscose | 25% Alpaca
50g | 175m/191yds
Inspired by nature’s landscapes, the varying shades of Felted Tweed Colour are truly captivating to knit and crochet. From subtle moorland russets and browns, to vibrant sunset pinks and fresh, grassy greens, the tweedy hues gradually evolve along the fibres at a gentle and unhurried pace. A stunning fair isle effect is created by simply working with two shades, while the perfect combination of 50% lightly-felted wool, 25% viscose and 25% alpaca makes this yarn equally ideal for delicate lace and sumptuous cables.

Big Wool
100% Wool
100g | 80m/87yds
Big Wool takes the knitability of a super chunky and transforms it with pure Merino wool, raising the bar by which all other ‘beginner’ yarns are measured. Big Wool is not just for new knitters though. With a super light spin and paintbox colour palette, it’s the perfect choice for speedy accessories and dramatic garments. Make a statement with a giant cable, get creative with colour combinations or cast on a super cosy accessory in the ultimate yarn for winter.

Kidsilk Haze
70% Mohair | 30% Silk 25g | 210m/229yds
Our ever-popular Kidsilk Haze combines the soft halo of super kid mohair with the vibrant shine of silk in one incredible yarn that is loved by knitters the world over. Kidsilk Haze can be used with a variety of needle sizes to create different effects and styles, and is a firm favourite with lace fans. Used alongside other yarns it takes on an almost magical quality, and is available in a kaleidoscopic array of stunning colours.
Alpaca Classic
57% Alpaca | 43% Cotton 25g | 120m/131yds
Alpaca Classic is ideal for Fair Isle patterns and light but warm garments and accessories, with its fine weight and intense colour palette. Its feathery feel and romantic halo are created by filling delicate cotton mesh with luxurious alpaca fibres, resulting in a light weight yarn with incredible meterage and spectacular texture. Knitted on larger needles, it makes an exciting choice for lace patterns too.
The big sister to classic Felted Tweed, this rustic Aran-weight yarn is available in a range of classic colours and is a beautiful choice for cosy winter knits. The complimentary colours sit perfectly together in stripes or Fair Isle colourwork, or shine on their own in cables and textured stitches. With an alchemic combination of 50% lightly-felted wool, 25% viscose and 25% alpaca, this is a yarn that’s often imitated, but never bettered.
A perfect choice for warming winter knits, Brushed Fleece has a gentle halo and soft marl colour effect that combines beautifully with its palette of soft neutrals and richer shades. Due to its chunky finish Brushed Fleece is quick to knit, but it’s very much a lightweight yarn that’s easy to wear & super cosy thanks to its blend of alpaca, wool and polyamide.
Alpaca Soft DK
70% Virgin Wool | 30% Alpaca 50g | 125m/136yds
Thanks to its luxurious handle and rich colour palette, award-winning Alpaca Soft DK has become a real favourite with knitters. Spun from a premium blend of extrafine Merino, superfine Merino and baby alpaca, it makes an easy choice for garments and accessories and comes into its own when worked in cable designs. Choose from an array of much-loved shades and cast on a classic project you’ll wear forever.
An Aran-weight wool yarn, with a super-light feel, Kid Classic is as unique as it is popular, having been a favourite with Rowan knitters for many years. The beautiful blend of 70% lambswool, 22% kid mohair and 8% polyamide creates a lovely soft yarn, which is perfect for cosy winter knits. Available in a refined colour palette of rich tones, this is a true all-rounder, which is as perfect for cabling as it is for plain knitting.
This unique blend of specially selected fibres includes soft mohair from South Africa, super-fine alpaca, and a cotton core that gives structure to the chainette construction. A refined, romantic halo is the most noticeable quality of Tweed Haze, which is punctuated with colorful flecks of accent colours which combine to create a rich, luxurious texture. Quick to knit, this yarn is perfectly soft against the skin and is wonderfully warm. The palette combines lovely neutrals with trending brights.
Fine Tweed Haze is a finer version of our cherished Tweed Haze. With a very similar blend – including superfine alpaca and extra fine merino wool – this dreamy yarn boasts the same contemporary tweed look. Its beautiful haze is punctuated with contrasting tweedy flecks making it an interesting choice for single-colour designs, whilst also being perfect for lightweight colourwork - the beautifully balanced palette is ideal for creating compelling Fair Isles.
