Rowan was founded in 1978 by Stephen Sheard, originally making the rounds of craft fairs selling weaving kits. Now their materials, patterns and design magazines are distributed around the world. Stephen says the Rowan philosophy is all about choice and customer service. He feels that if you spend so many of your precious leisure hours knitting a Rowan design of Rowan stocks, then your garment should be made of the highest quality materials and the patterns had better be innovative and exciting. With an extensive stable of expert design consultants, all generating striking new patterns, Rowan is one of the most active design publishers in the industry.

The Rowan design consultants provide advice on current materials and colors and often request new fibers and qualities for their quickly changing fashion trends. Rowan knows their designers and the trends and rapidly adapts to their requests. Thus we at River Colors Studio are able to bring you new materials and ideas almost as fast as the fashions are developing.

Rowan is located along the River Holme, in Holmfirth, West Yorkshire, Great Britain. Rivers have always been an integral element of the textile heritage, providing the natural, non-polluting power that drove the old water wheels and machines of the textile mills. Rowan would be happy to have you visit them at Green Lane Mill when you are in the area.
