This
one-of-a-kind photographic encyclopedia features more than
200 animals and the fibers they produce. It covers almost every sheep
breed in the world — from the longwool breeds of the United Kingdom to
the Tasmanian merino, the Navajo churro, the northern European Faroese,
and dozens and dozens more. It also includes goats, camelids (such as
alpacas, llamas, and vicunas), bison, horses, musk oxen, rabbits, and
even dogs. Each entry includes photographs of the featured animal;
samples of its raw fleece, its cleaned fleece, and yarn spun from the
fleece; and samples of the yarn knit and woven. You’ll find everything
you want to know about each animal and its fiber, including the fiber’s
color, density, strength, and staple length, and recommendations for
processing and using it. This is the essential reference no fiber-lover
can be without.
