Spring seems to be more serious about sticking around lately and I have been soaking up as much sun as I can! Soon it will be time to switch gears and start knitting up lightweight summery things instead of thick scarves and woolen sweaters... I am sooooo ready! To kick off the season, Rowan has introduced two spectacular new yarns with a heaping pile of pattern support.
 |
| Panama 308 Jacaranda |
Panama has already begun to fly off our shelves and it is pretty easy to understand why. This sock weight cotton, linen and viscose blend is ideal for those relaxed-chic tanks and tops! The yarn itself consists of multiple strands of the different fibers woven together giving Panama a light, airy texture with plenty of swishy, flowing drape - not to mention a subtle glow given off by the viscose. Available in a complimentary palette of unique pastels, this yarn is the ultimate warm weather fiber!

| Cover: Banana Wrap -so appealing! |
Wondering what you can do with it? Check out
The Panama Collection from Rowan! Including 15 stunning designs that reflect this year's fashion trends, featuring open-work stitches, exquisite crochet and bold stripes. For those crisp July evenings, consider the exotic
Banana Wrap or, for a stylish sweater to wear at the office, the
Guava Pullover is perfect! And don't forget my favorite, the
Bread Fruit Tunic! This roomy top can be worn with jeans on a lazy weekend or over a swimsuit for a trip to the beach!

| 934 Wild Rose |
The second new Rowan yarn,
Savannah, is another exceptional fiber! A soft, worsted weight cotton, Savannah has thin binder threads of silk wrapped around it in criss-cross fashion creating an ever-so-slightly bumpy, uneven texture. The dusty desert shades are colorful yet understated, making them a perfect compliment (or alternative) to the loud tropical tones of the vacationing months!
Rowan was sure to provide a stellar array of projects for this fabulous yarn, as well, in
The Savannah Collection! Designed with classy comfort in mind, many of these 12 gorgeous patterns combine a relaxed fit with a fitted silhouette for casual elegance that can be dressed up or down (depending on your mood)! Lightly layer up with the
Desert, an open short-sleeved cardigan that can be pined closed at the neck with a shawl pin or show off your stitch skills with
Oasis, a fabulous tunic featuring beautiful lace paneling and a delicate leaf border around the top!
Eeek, just writing about these marvelous yarns makes me want to play hooky and knit!
Happy Knitting and Crocheting!
Leanne :)
