Synopsis

Written for knitters who want to spin custom-designed yarn, this book begins with a prepared fleece batt and follows the planning needed to create yarn that fits a chosen project. It explains how to match yarns to knitting patterns, how to recreate the look of a commercial yarn, and how to combine commercial and handspun yarns within a single piece.

Full colour photographs illustrate fibre preparation, spinning and plying techniques, and approaches to working with colour and colour blending. The book also includes 12 knitting patterns by prominent knitwear designers, spanning sweaters, socks, shawls and accessories, with projects described as aspirational but achievable for committed makers.
