Synopsis

Have you any Wool? is a new concept in knitting and crochet. Jan Messent has suggested hundreds of witty and wonderful ways of using up oddments of any type, or thickness, of yarn. Her aim is to encourage readers to explore their own design potential by using any tiny amounts of yarn available to them to create interesting and decorative projects. It is only by using the yarns in this way that they will discover what they can do! This book is a must for all those craftswomen who want to extend the boundaries of their work. It will begile the beginner, who for far too long has had to rely on laborious instructions for every project, and delight the devotee who has been longing for someone to light the way into the realms of fantasy.

À propos de l?auteur

Jan Messent qualified as a teacher in the mid-50s and, after teaching Art, History and English, became deeply involved with embroidery as an art form. As a member of the Embroiderers’ Guild, she taught embroidery design to its members, wrote and illustrated design books, and lectured worldwide.

In 1996, she was commissioned by Madeira Threads to reconstruct the last and missing eight feet of The Bayeux Tapestry, which can be seen in James Cook Memorial Hospital, Middlesbrough, UK. In the process of making this stunning panel, she wrote the tour de force The Bayeux Tapestry Embroiderers' Story – an illustrated history on the embroiderers behind the masterpiece. This was first published in 1999 by Madeira Threads and later published in 2010 by Search Press.

Now, having retired from lecturing, Jan dedicates her time to a number of arts and crafts, including drawing, painting, embroidery, knitting and crochet. She's an avid lover of history and classical music, and Jan is the Hon. President of the Basingstoke Creative Stitchers.
