Book Reviews
by Pegg Thomas at Twin Willows Farm


Charlie Needs a Cloak is a great resource tool when demonstrating spinning and weaving for children.  It's also a great book to read to your kids and grandkids!

Color in Spinning is, in my opinion, the best book on color and color blending on the market.  If you can only buy one book to improve your production of homespun yarn, this is the one!

Funky Knits is geared towards the teenager and 20 something knitter with trendy patterns.

Knitter's Companion is the perfect knitting bag reference book.

Knitting Ganseys is one of my favorite knitting books.  Besides the set-by-set instructions, you get some good knitting history and techiques.

Knitting Out of Africa was a wonderful surprise to me.  Forget all your preconceived notions of black and white geometrics when you open this book.

Knitting Patterns for the Hand Spinner is a delightful little book written for the more experienced knitter.

One Skein has useful and pretty patterns that you can knit or crochet from just one skein of yarn.  Great for using up leftovers too.

Yarns to Dye For will spark your creativity and stain your fingers!  Use hand spun or commercial yarns with this book.
