Luxury Knitting

The Ultimate Guide To Exquisite Yarns
Cashmere * Merino * Silk
Author: Linda Morse of String Yarns, NYC

Luxury Knitting is a beautiful, useful book. It is lovely enough for your coffee table, yet informative enough to supplement a curriculum. In addition, it speaks to the heart of yarn lovers everywhere, giving intimate details of the path Cashmere, Merino and Silk fibers take as they make their way from animal to finished garment.

Morse fills in many blanks other books overlook, like explaining the impact commercial clothing manufacturers have on these exquisite yarns availability to the knitting world—it’s huge.

Historical material is plentiful, and certainly could provide source material for students of fibers, cultures and/or species from whom these fibers are gleaned. Mongolia, Australia, and the historically significant Silk Road are seen through the eyes of the fibers that have been and still are intertwined with their economies.
The hardcover, 168-paged book also includes several knitting patterns and a list of yarn shops that carry these specialty yarns.

Morse owns String, a premier knitting boutique located in New York City. She is a life-long knitter and former IT Specialist. This is her first book on knitting.

After having read Luxury Knitting, I felt much more confident in my ability to choose they type of yarn I would like to use for my personal use, and more appreciative of the opportunity to be able to use these luxurious fibers.
