Gorgeous, luscious, beautiful – warm, soft, natural – Yes I am talking about wool, sheep’s wool. With many books devoted to describing new and different yarns, this book takes us back to the good old sheep in all its different variations. The knitters book of wool describes and differentiates the various sheep breeds and their woolly characteristics, giving the reader a thorough understanding of all things wool. This lovely hardback book also includes classic knitting patterns (with charts + detailed directions) which makes this a perfect knitting fiends companion.
