STYLISH KNITTING From Handspin (Handspun) or Commercial Yarns by Nina Shuttlewood
"This book will be a delightful adventure for knitters who seek originality and style from their garments.
Most of the designs derive their individuality from interesting interplay of textures and color rather than from complex stitches. The yarns used include wool, silk, cotton, and luxury fibers, and for each pattern both a commercially available yarn and a handspun alternative are recommended.
For the spinner, a unique feature is the inclusion of charts to determine the correct spinning ratio. In addition, the instructions on spinning and dyeing are clearly illustrated with line drawings, and advice is given on treadling and plying." - from the dust jacket.
