Favourite Rowan Yarn

Rowan Kidsilk Haze. "It’s beautiful and warm and delicious. Plus, it’s surprisingly useful!  Yes, it looks great in fine lace shawls, but I get a lot of use out of it making winter accessories for truly terrible weather. I love double-stranding it with sock yarn to make extra-warm and extra-hardwearing socks. And I use it for all my mittens and hats, too, double-stranding it with whatever other yarn I’m using. The fibre blend brings warmth and the halo fills up the tiny gaps in the stitches to stop those Canadian winter winds blowing through."
