Nashua Handknits was introduced by Westminster Fibers (Rowan) in Fall, 2005. Created for North American hand knitters, Nashua Handknits focuses on yarns and designs for the today’s knitter and crocheter. Nashua yarns are based on natural fibers – cotton, wool, alpaca, kid mohair and silk, with select synthetic fibers added to bring out the yarn to its best results when knit and worn. Nashua Handknits seasonal pattern collections are based on lifestyle themes – work, play, family, relax, celebrate – to live all aspects of North American life. Their designers are some of the best from the United States and Canada – favorites like Deborah Newton, Gayle Bunn, Kristin Nicholas, Kathy Zimmerman, Sandi Prosser, Robin Melanson, Cathy Payson, and more...all create knitting and crochet projects to fill the needs of today’s enthusiast.
