We know not everyone can or is comfortable going to stores right now. So we wanted to bring our 
Rowan Yarns 
trunk shows to YOU! This exclusive version of the winter Rowan Trunk Shows brought to you by our amazing WW team and the good folks at Rowan.

Be sure to LIKE & SUBSCRIBE to our NEW YouTube Channel - we have loads more to come!

We're absolutely positive that one or more of these garments will catch your eye. Our staff is ready to help find just the right shade of yarn, patterns, notions and whatever else you may need to get started. Visit us in one of the shops or order online at www.woolwinders.com.

No Rowan Trunk Show would be complete without a DOOR PRIZE! Purchase any Rowan yarn during the sale dates and you will be automatically entered into the drawing to occur on March 2, 2021.
This beautiful Rowan Merino Aria Scarf Door Prize includes 7 balls of one of Rowan's newest yarns - Merino Aria, 1 copy of Mode at Rowan Soft Boucle & Merino Aria book (scarf pattern included), and 1 pair of Rowan birchwood needles.

Rowan names WoolWinders as Flagship Stores

Suzy Roy

WoolWinders has joined with other select yarn shops around the world as brand ambassadors for Rowan. We are honored to join forces with this well-known, iconic yarn brand. As a Flagship Store, we will have access to trunk shows, models, select yarns, and special events that will bring you the best in design and yarn options right here in Maryland!

Rowan is known for its classic pattern collections, created by prominent designers such as Kaffe Fassett, Kim Hargreaves and Martin Storey.  Last fall, well-known knitting icons Arne & Carlos joined Rowan’s offering of designers. The latest issue of Rowan Magazine, No. 64, celebrates both these collaborations and their “Ruby” 40th Anniversary with a collection of patterns designed by these and other Rowan favorites, all in shades of red.
