Synopsis

Have you any Wool? is a new concept in knitting and crochet. Jan Messent has suggested hundreds of witty and wonderful ways of using up oddments of any type, or thickness, of yarn. Her aim is to encourage readers to explore their own design potential by using any tiny amounts of yarn available to them to create interesting and decorative projects. It is only by using the yarns in this way that they will discover what they can do! This book is a must for all those craftswomen who want to extend the boundaries of their work. It will begile the beginner, who for far too long has had to rely on laborious instructions for every project, and delight the devotee who has been longing for someone to light the way into the realms of fantasy.

About this title

About the Author:

Jan Messent qualified as a teacher in the mid-50s and, after teaching Art, History and English, became deeply involved with embroidery as an art form. As a member of the Embroiderers’ Guild, she taught embroidery design to its members, wrote and illustrated design books, and lectured worldwide. Her last embroidery book was about the Bayeux Tapestry. She became interested in the experimental use of knitting and crochet and hoped, by her books on the subject, to open up new dimensions in the creative use of yarn. Now, having retired from lecturing, Jan writes historical fiction full-time, embroidering as a side-line, reading, painting, and listening to good music.
