Synopsis

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. The book is structured in three parts. Each section builds on the last, providing both the 'why' behind yarn and practical approaches to make better craft choices.

About this title

About the Author

Michelle Boyd is an internationally recognized fibre-arts writer and educator who has been intrigued by yarn from the moment she first picked up a crochet hook and a ball of acrylic when she was 12 years old. While that project didn’t quite turn out, her skills have improved since then. She is a prolific spinner, knitter, weaver, and, yes, occasional crocheter. She received her Master Spinner certifications from Olds College in 2007 and went on to teach for that program, as well as at guilds and conferences across North America. Her writing has been published in PLY Magazine, Spin-Off, and on Digits & Threads, and her first book, Twist, was published in late 2024.
