The Knitter's Book of Yarn 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?

If you can't find it at your LYS or local independent bookseller, you can also find it online at Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.

Learn more about why and how this book came to be (warning, contains at least two cat pictures). Download the Maine Morning Mitts pattern, a perfect use for small quantities of brightly colored worsted-weight singles! Find out what boo-boos (aka errata) are in the first printing. See alternate views of the projects (photos taken by me and decidedly not as lovely as what you'll see in the book!).

On October 20th, Bess took her copy to town, gave it a shiny new coat, and introduced it to a bunch of knitterary heroines. You can see her slideshow here.
