This book is a distillation of everything I've learned about yarn on my journey since I learned to knit as a child, and since I began Knitter's Review in 2000.
It was named one of the Best Books of 2007 by Library Journal, and I truly believe that if you read this book, you'll become a smarter, more confident knitter.
After all, it all starts with yarn, right?
