A Fine Fleece explores the tradition and beauty of hand-spun yarns as well as educating knitters about the differences in fine wools, like alpaca and merino. Lisa Lloyd shares the 3 important concepts that enlighten her designs: the use of contrasting color and fiber, scale and perspective, and the creation of "poetic" sweaters that try to capture an emotion through stitching. Each pattern is presented in both hand-spun yarn as well as commercially ready yarn for both spinners and knitters alike. Learn how handspinning can open up umlimited yarn possibilities and add a whole new dimension to your knitting passion. 25 projects—160 pages  | Hardcover Retail: $30.00 Item No. 31024
