When only the finest will do...."Rowan Finest"
I couldn't wait to knit with "Rowan Finest". It caught my eye immediately!
Fine gauge knitting with luxurious yarn and a collection of designs that are just so sublime!
I asked Sara Hatton about the styling for these designs and the photo shoot. She said that she was going for "50's and 60's vintage Miami".
Turns out this collection was photographed in "deepest darkest Nottinghamshire!
My impression of this design collection? Well, it sort of reminds me of Oceans 11. Remember Julia Roberts as Tess? I can see Julia wearing these designs....strolling through the Bellagio.....on her way to meet up with.....hmmmm....I know Danny Ocean was her ex....
Can you see why I just couldn't wait to try knitting with Rowan Finest? Why I just HAD TO knit something right then and there?
Happy Knitting!

50% wool, 20% cashmere and 30% royal alpaca.....
an amazingly soft, lightweight, 4 ply yarn
12 gorgeous shades
87m (95yds) per 25 g ball
These cute little balls of yarn have a purpose!
You know you hate it when a design just takes you into that next 50 gram ball right?
So with 25g balls, there is less wastage!
