Rowan\u00a0has added six new shades to their Pure Wool Worsted<\/a> line, and we’re happy to have them on our shelves.<\/p>\n

All six are heathered, each shade composed of a few solid shades that are blended together to look solid from a distance. They fill out our existing selection nicely to make a well-rounded palette.<\/p>\n

What to make with Rowan Pure Wool Worsted?\u00a0Martin Storey has answered this question with\u00a0two pattern\u00a0collections in Pure Wool Worsted.<\/p>\n

Pure Wool Worsted makes a great sweater yarn, especially for casual\u00a0everyday sweaters.<\/p>\n

It’s smooth and predictable on the needles, sturdy and easy to care for, renders stitch patterns crisply, and happens to be the most economical superwash worsted weight wool we’ve found.<\/p>\n

Superwash wool at this gauge is tremendously versatile, and has many uses beyond adult-sized sweaters: use it for baby blankets, children’s sweaters, slipper socks, cold weather accessories, home goods, and the like.\u00a0It’s also a good candidate for toy-making, as it happens.<\/p>\n

I used Rowan Pure Wool recently to knit this pair of bunnies from a pair of free patterns. The bigger one, “Henry’s Rabbit,”<\/a> is for my niece, and the smaller one, “Henry’s Bunny,”<\/a> is for her sibling-to-be, due at the end of the month. One skein of Rowan Pure Wool was enough to make the pair. Stuffed animals are definitely not my typical knitting project, but I must say, this was a truly delightful diversion, and this yarn was a perfect fit!<\/p>\n
