The Fleece & Fiber Sourcebook
Created for knitters, spinners, weavers, and other fiber artists as well as animal raisers, all of whom are passionate about their craft, The Fleece & Fiber Sourcebook is a one-of-a-kind photographic encyclopedia of more than 200 animals and the fibers they produce. Each spread includes photographs of the featured animal (including sheep, goats, alpacas, llamas, vicunas, camels, yaks, bison, musk oxen, and even dogs!), as well as samples of the raw fiber, cleaned fleece, and yarn spun, knit, and woven. No other book covers so many fiber animals in such detail; it's a stunning collection of photos and an inexhaustible source of expert information.
