The Wonder of Wool by Justine Lee and Jess Morency isn’t just a knitting book about yarn, it’s it’s about the sheep behind it, their history, their habitats, and the beautiful British wool fleeces that give us all those gorgeous fibres we love to knit, spin, and weave.
Provenance is becoming increasingly important to yarn lovers alongside sourcing yarn from farmers using regenerative methods. We’re starting to be more aware of the fibres we knit, and craft, with, actively choosing local British wool yarns for our knitting projects.
Inside, The Wonder of Wool, you’ll find profiles of 30 of the most knittable British sheep breeds, each with fun facts and info around the characteristics and properties of their fleece.
And yes, there’s knitting too! Justine Lee has included 10 exclusive knitting patterns using some of the softest, most delicious British wool yarn, so you can get stuck in and actually use all that knowledge about breeds in a cosy, woolly project.
Whether you’re looking for a British wool yarn for a new knitting project, feel curious about fibre provenance, or just love learning about sheep, The Wonder of Wool is a woolly, woolly excellent read.
