Avril Best
Avril Best (she/her) has worked for Rowan for many years, initially as a workshop tutor, having been spotted knitting while looking after a friend’s shop! Most of the time she works in a sales and marketing role but loves to teach, particularly finishing techniques. She always finds it interesting and inspiring to meet fellow knitters and share knowledge together. She lives in the south west of the UK, just outside Bristol with her doodle, daughter and partner.
Favourite Rowan Yarn
Rowan Felted Tweed. "I love colour work and the palette is so beautiful and varied. The tweedy effect and the felted blurriness makes it very forgiving, so you can relax into your intarsia or fairisle, knowing that any little hiccups will just fade into the fabric. And the excellent yardage makes it a luxury yarn at a reasonable cost per garment."
