Adventures in Yarn Farming: Four Seasons on a New England Fiber Farm

by Barbara Parry

Description

Across four seasons, this warm and practical guide invites readers into the daily rhythms of a New England fiber farm, where sheep, wool, weather, and craft shape one another. Personal essays explore the hands-on work of raising fiber animals, shearing sheep, preparing and dyeing wool, and transforming fleece through spinning and knitting. Thirteen appealing projects offer opportunities to put these traditional skills into practice while capturing the rewards and challenges of farm life. Blending memoir, instruction, and an appreciation for sustainable craftsmanship, the book is an engaging introduction to the journey from pasture to finished yarn.
