Knitted home interiors have been popular for several seasons especially plain and neutral shades, but now colourful pieces are becoming increasingly popular. Using Pure Wool Superwash Worsted, Wool Cotton and Chenille, the Rowan design team have responded to this trend by designing a wonderful collection of home knits that will add a splash of colour and drama to any home.

Wool Cotton

50% wool 50% cotton 10 x 50g balls per pack


The popular Wool Cotton yarn has been in the Rowan range for many years. It owes its longevity to the high twist blend of wool and cotton, which creates knitted designs with a beautiful drape and great stitch definition.

Chenille

100% cotton 10 x 50g balls per pack


Rowan Chenille is 100% cotton, soft and yet textured to the touch. This yarn takes cables and textured stitches very well. Available in strong, jewel-like colours and in a 50 gram ball it is ideal for colour work, mixing with other Rowan core yarns, but equally makes very wearable and warm garments when knitted by iteslf.
