Rowan Ribbon Twist at Village Yarns

Chunky knits are still a popular choice with hand knitters and are featured prominently in fashion collections for Fall 2007. Standing the test of time is the Rowan Ribbon Twist Collection designed by Kim Hargreaves featuring Rowan Ribbon Twist hand knitting yarn.




First introduced in 2004 these patterns have become timeless classics featuring great fit and proportion.



Kim Hargreaves design talent shines in this collection of 12 designs that flatter the body and ensure a great fit by featuring set-in sleeves, defined waists and playful stitch details along hems and cuffs.



Rowan Ribbon Twist is a companion yarn to Rowan Big Wool with a lovely contrasting ribbon twisted along with the plush merino single, all bound together with a fine thread wound around the two.


Warm and cozy, Ribbon Twist knits up into beautiful sweaters, cardigans and accessories.
