AMY BUTLER AND KAFFE FASSETT INTRODUCE NEW ROWAN 100% PREMIUM COTTON THREAD COLLECTIONS

Thoughtfully selected colors harmonize with your favorite Amy & Kaffe fabrics!

(CHARLOTTE, NC) . . . Celebrated designers Amy Butler^TM and Kaffe Fassett add their own personal style and sophistication to a brand new line of 100% premium cotton thread. Introducing from Rowan, a thread of the finest natural fiber in meticulously selected colors gathered into four distinct collections, championed by these two well-respected designers.

Amy Butler's Love and Soul Blossoms collections plus Kaffe Fassett's Stones and Circus collections have been thoughtfully selected by the designers. Each collection features nine 200-yard spools of Rowan 100% premium cotton thread in colors that complement their fabric lines.

Rowan, an internationally renowned brand synonymous with inspirational use of color, texture and pattern, has combined the finest 100% extra-long staple Egyptian Giza cotton with modern processing techniques to create a consistent, strong, low lint cotton thread with exceptional sewing and quilting performance. The Rowan 100% premium cotton thread is ideal for hand and machine sewing, piecing, quilting and appliqué.

"I am so pleased to be able to have a hand in the development of this new thread line. Thread is such an important part of your sewing and quilting success, so it was important that the quality of the fiber and the richness of the colors be in keeping with the sophistication of the Rowan brand," said Amy Butler, designer and founder of Amy Butler Designs.

In Amy's Love collection you will find rich expressive colors like rosebud, cool water, tea leaf and periwinkle to name a few, each with a tropical feeling to blend with her Love fabrics from Rowan. Soul Blossoms is brimming with passionate tones that gleefully await Amy's new fabrics by the very same name. In true Kaffe fashion, Circus is a collection of glorious, vivid colors that pair beautifully with his bold vibrant fabrics. The Stones collection features soft natural hues that are essential for all hand and machine piecing, appliqué, and quilting.

"I take thread seriously, as it is an integral part of my quilt making. We are pleased to partner with Rowan to ensure this 100% cotton thread is the best it can possibly be for you," said Liza Prior Lucy, Kaffe's co-author and quilt maker.

Each collection emulates its fabric namesake, packaged in delightful boxes perfect for keeping your most treasured buttons, bobbins and baubles.

"Rowan is thrilled by the introduction of this new line of threads to compliment the Rowan fabric ranges. To have the exact color to quilt with will be a great bonus to sewers that work with the Kaffe and Amy fabrics," said Kate Buller, senior brand manager, Rowan.
