144-page paperback book
A User's Guide to Yarn provides crafters with a thorough explanation of yarn, from what it's made of to how it's constructed, and how those two factors interact to influence how yarn behaves when it's knitted, crocheted, and woven.
It's everything you didn't know you didn't know about yarn.
Even if you're a lifelong crafter or fibre artist, you will learn things that will open your mind and your imagination to how you use yarn. If you're a novice or have never thought deeply about how yarn affects the cloth you make, this book will seriously level up your craft.
Part One: Making Yarn
- How yarn is made and what it's made of, including material considerations, and yarn structure.
Part Two: Buying Yarn
- How to choose the right yarn for your project, including reading labels, understanding gauge, and smart substitutions.
Part Three: Using Yarn
- How different crafts interact with yarn, including tool choice, finishing, and swatching/sampling.
Each section builds on the last, providing both the "why" behind yarn and practical approaches to make better craft choices.
