The Rowan & Swarovski Create Your Style Collaboration We have teamed up with Swarovski Create Your Style to create a brand new and sparkling collaboration. Shine is the new range of yarns, designs and tailored crystal packages from Rowan and Swarovski.

The concept was born out of a mutual respect between the brands, Swarovski approached Rowan as they felt that our collection of premium yarns would fit perfectly with their stunning crystals to create beautiful hand crafted garments and accessories. With this in mind, we have developed two stunning collections featuring some of our most luxurious yarns knitted with Swarovski crystals. The Day Collection showcases pieces suitable for a day out, whilst The Evening Collection features dazzling garments and accessories for a special night out. Further to this, we introduce Rowan Kidsilk Haze Shine; a new take on the ever-popular yarn, adorned with Swarovski crystals. Perfect for embellishments and accessory pieces, the yarn is available in five shimmering shades.

Swarovski Create Your Style is a creative community which encourages people to express themselves through personal design. It connects likeminded people and generates inspiration through its crystals, which can be combined with the most diverse of materials, from fabric and felt to paper and, of course, yarn.
