内容简介

This definitive guide to wool explores what makes wool so dynamic - explaining the differences between breeds of sheep, processing and much more. It helps knitters learn how to choose the right wool for their specific projects. It features over 20 patterns, each designed to showcase specific qualities of wool yarns. In "The Knitter's Book of Wool", Clara Parkes thoughtfully explores what makes wool so dynamic - explaining how differences between breeds of sheep, components of the wool fibre, the classification and processing of wool and many other factors contribute to the finished yarn you hold in your hand. Finally, knitters have a way to intuitively grasp which wools should become scarves and which sweaters, which would make a killer handbag and which the perfect mitten. Over 20 patterns, each designed to showcase specific qualities of wool yarns, illustrate the cross-section of widely available and boutique yarns featured in the book.
