February 2011 Newsletter - Rowan

Dear Members,
We would like to take this opportunity to wish all our
members a very Happy New Year!
Here at Rowan we are very excited about the launch of
our Spring Summer collection. The two new yarns for
the season - Panama, a cotton and linen blend, and
Savannah, a cotton and silk blend, are brought to life in
stunning dedicated brochures featuring up to the minute
designs for women. Also part of the summer offering are
a further four more brochures; Summer Baby, Cotton
Classics, Purelife Classics and the latest collection from
Amy Butler, River Camp Knits. (Read all about them on
Pg10)
November was a busy month for the team as we joined
the Coats stand at the Knitting & Stitching Show in
Harrogate, North Yorkshire (See the pictures on Pg26)
It was also the month we welcomed home the Rowan
30 th Anniversary exhibition, we can hardly believe this
has been touring the world for over two years! 2011 will
also see another milestone birthday, as Rowan celebrates
its 50 th issue! There will be lots of surprises planned for
this issue so watch this space!
