Synopsis
Not all yarns are alike. Some make our hearts and hands sing, some get the job done without much fanfare, and some cause nothing but frustration and disappointment. The gorgeous pair of socks that emerged from their first bath twice as long as when they went in. The delicate baby sweater that started pilling before it even came off the needles. The stunning colorwork scarf that you can't wear because the yarn feels like sandpaper against your neck. If only there were a way to read a skein and know how it would behave and what it wanted to become before you invested your time, energy, and money in it. Now there is! With The Knitter's Book of Yarn , you'll learn how to unleash your inner yarn whisperer. In these pages, Clara Parkes provides in-depth insight into a vast selection of yarns, giving you the inside stories behind the most common fiber types, preparations, spins, and ply combinations used by large-scale manufacturers and importers, medium-sized companies, boutique dye shops, community spinneries, and old-fashioned sheep farms. And, because we learn best by doing, Parkes went to some of the most creative and inquisitive design minds of the knitting world to provide a wide assortment of patterns created to highlight the qualities (and minimize the drawbacks) of specific types of yarns. The Knitter's Book of Yarn will teach you everything you need to know about yarn- How it's made, who makes it, how it gets to you, and what it longs to become. The next time you pick up a skein, you won't have to wonder what to do with it. You'll just know-the way any yarn whisperer would., This comprehensive guide to yarns and their qualities can help knitters get the results they want for every project. Included are 40 patterns by knittings biggest stars including Cat Bordhi, TaraJon Manning, Margaret Klein Wilson, and Teva Durham., Not all yarns are alike.

    Reference book for Yarn

    This book has just the information I have been looking for - am moving toward intermediate beginner from just plain ignorant beginner! So that means experimenting with different yarns - it is lovely to be able to expect how the yarn will behave once it's been finished, washed & blocked and worn.

    yarn appreciation at its finest.

    I so love this book. The knitter's book of yarn is great for anyone who loves the craft of knitting and crochet. I highly recommend this book especially for beginners. This book teaches you everything you need to know about yarn. How it is made, who makes it, how it gets to you, and what it longs to become. After my purchase of this book, I no longer have to wonder what to do with yarn. I have s new found appreciation for yarn.

    Wonderful resource

    A wonderful resource for the knitter's library. She breaks down the different fibers, why they're useful, how they are used and makes it great to figure out fiber combinations for your needs.

    Learning all about yarn.

    A quick look through the book only. It looks like I will enjoy it once I get the time. I haven't read too much from the book, as I said I have only had the time for a quick glance.
