    Description

    Martin Storey Lowri Sweater Kit in Vintage Rowan Silky Tweed
    Over the past few years, Martin Storey has become one of our favorite Rowan designers.  The creative mind behind the Rowan Classics line, Martin has been a frequent contributor to the Rowan Magazines for over a decade.  From
    Classic Heartland
    published in 2009 we are pleased to present Lowri, a wonderful two color in a row fair isle pullover knit in now discontinued Rowan Silky Tweed yarn.  Silky Tweed is an Aran weight blend of 80% wool and 20% silk that knits up quickly and is so soft it just begs to be touched.   The sweater features simple shaping, set in sleeves, and a scoop ribbed neckline.  The pattern can be made in any of 8 sizes -- from the smallest to fit a chest/bust of 32 inches all the way to the largest to fit a chest/bust of 46 inches inches.  The pattern specifies a
    gauge
    of 20.5 stitches and 21 rows to 4 inches (10 cm) on US 8 (5 mm) needles.  The design will work up quickly and become an instant classic.

    Rarity:
    Rowan Silky Tweed was discontinued several years ago and is becoming increasingly difficult to find.  The kit represents a rare opportunity to create the design in Martin's original soft colors.
