Part coffee-table book, part inspirational work, and part pattern guide, Shear Spirit connects knitters to the yarn-producing community in a new and intimate way. Filled with stunning photographs, fascinating essays and heartwarming profiles, this book follows the writer and photographer to 10 fibre farms and ranches across America - from the Willamette Valley of Oregon to the coast of Maine-capturing the essence of the people, places and animals that, together, create yarn. 20 projects featuring yarns from the farms surveyed will inspire knitters everywhere.
