This book will introduce and explain the differences contained within that simple word, wool. Learn about the anatomy of a fibre, how fibre is turned from wool into yarn, which breed of sheep produce which types of fibres, and how blending different fibres for lustre and drape will affect the halo, properties of, or strength of the final yarn. You will also find more then 20 patterns for everything from pillows, bags, socks, mittens, and scarves to a leafy shell, cardigans, and pullovers for the whole family, by a selection of top designers. Each pattern comes with pictures, a skill level, and any charts or graphs needed to complete the project. The resource section contains websites for ordering handspun yarn, all abbreviations and techniques needed, and a comprehensive recommended reading section, as well as a full glossary. Hardcover. 207 Pages. Potter Craft New York, 2009.
