Autumn Days-A look at Cotton Cashmere by Rowan

Cotton Cashmere by Rowan is perfect for your autumn knits. This yarn is a beautiful blend of cotton and cashmere making it the perfect yarn for the changing season.

There are two pattern books that focus on this yarn.

Cotton Cashmere by Sarah Hatton is collection of 11 designs and accessories by Sarah Hatton. Using a soft tonal palette from white to subtle blues, pinks and oranges, it showcases the great textural knits you can create using cables, lace and other stitch patterns.

Dee Hardwicke's Seasonal Pallets: Cotton Cashmere shows how layering is key and designs in this collection include and elegant coat, turtle-neck sweater and wrap. The palette was inspired by Dee's love of visiting city parks and garden squares when not at home in the countryside. The colours of early autumn tend to be less muted than those found in the natural landscape and this palette reflects that, featuring more saturated colours such as Indigo, Golden Dunes and new Myrtle. The shades are completely harmonious, working wonderfully however you choose to combine them.
