Rowan
Rowan was born above a grocery store in a village near Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England. Founders Stephen Sheard and Simon Cockin wanted to make yarn that was both excellent in quality and suited for the hand-knitting design trends of the period, so they started with weaving materials and knitting kits. The magnificent plants lining the banks of the Holme River in Yorkshire, a region rich in British textile heritage and customs, inspired the Rowan name. Rowan believes in environmental sustainability, minimizing their effect, and providing good animal care. They promote diversity and have a strict anti-discrimination policy.
