Book Reviews of The Knitter's Book of Yarn: The Ultimate Guide to Choosing, Using, and Enjoying Yarn
Book Review: BUY IT. No other book like it!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is the equivalent to a college course on fibers and their characteristics. NOW I know why some of my projects were not what I had hoped they would be; I substituted yarns that were the same gauge, but that wasn't enough. The patterns in this book are examples of each type of yarn (not just the fiber, but the number of plies, etc.) and are very user-friendly. I've already completed a small project, and this time my yarn substitution worked extremely well. I've knitted for many years, but feel that I've graduated to a new level because of this book.Book Review: Bought this for my wife after she read the one at the town library.
Summary: 5 Stars
She likes this book enough to buy it, which is unusual, so her opinion speaks for itself. Especially since she crochets, not knits.Book Review: Love this book.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book...I find a lot of useful information and lots if interesting patterns. I'm just about to start the Calla Lily bag. This book a good addition to anyone's library.Book Review: first 'theory' book i ever read.......
Summary: 5 Stars
....cover to cover. And eagerly, at that. On the first page the author reads my mind and answers my most pressing question. "Why the ^%*@ do my garments never turn out the way I expect"?!?
It's all about the yarn.
This book will take it's place as my number one knitting resource.
Book Review: Great for Novice to Master Knitter
Summary: 5 Stars
As President of Signature Needle Arts yarn makes our needle business possible. This book is fantastic--whether you have just started to knit or are the most experienced. All the information about fiber and yarn manufacturing you have ever heard (and a lot you probably don't know) is in one place. It explains so much about what a knitter experiences from one yarn type to another. Understanding of the basic raw material of all knitting projects will prove invaluable and save time, expense and the heart-break of choosing the wrong yarn. Knitter's Review is a great website, but this book should be on every knitter's shelf as a reference.
