Even the Jaded Can Love It

Let's be honest. There comes a time in all knitters' lives when they realize they simply have enough knitting books. They have all the sweater, hat, purse, scarf, shawl, sock, whatever patterns they will ever need, and they don't want to hear about another little yarn store or another group of knitters who did some inspiring thing. But now, there's a book that even a booked-out knitter will want to buy. I ended up reading the thing from cover to cover.
Learn about the foundation of all textile arts: the yarn itself. Did you know that rayon and Tencel start their lives as plant material, which is why you can make yarn out of milk without making string cheese? Do you know why it's sometimes called "virgin wool"? Do you know why knitters should be grateful to mulberry leaves? Do you know the difference between worsted weight yarn and worsted spun?
But my favorite thing about the book is that after it talks about the particular properties of a yarn, it offers a pattern or two that exploits that property -- and what fabulous patterns, too! I recommend this for beginning and advanced knitters alike. A real gem. |
