A User's Guide to Yarn provides crafters with a thorough explanation of yarn, from what it's made of to how it's constructed, and how those two factors interact to influence how yarn behaves when it's knitted, crocheted, and woven. It's everything you didn't know you didn't know about yarn. Even if you're a lifelong crafter or fibre artist, you will learn things that will open your mind and your imagination to how you use yarn. If you're a novice or have never thought deeply about how yarn affects the cloth you make, this book will seriously level up your craft. The book is structured in three parts. Each section builds on the last, providing both the 'why' behind yarn and practical approaches to make better craft choices.
