Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewGiven my hatred of puns, I absolutely do not want to say Clara Parkes spins an incredible yarn, but how else to describe this incredible book? Parkes is the Marc Kurlansky of wool! -- John Hodgman * actor, humorist, and author of Vacationland *
“While I laughed and loved Clara's prose, I was left with so much more. It's actually a lovely and melancholy look at an American industry that's quickly changing, and a beautiful story of the people who are sacrificing to maintain it." -- Judy Greer * actor, director, and author of I Don't Know What You Know Me From: Confessions of a Co-Star *
“Long before social media cluttered every corner of our existence, Parkes’s conversational 411 about new yarns and interesting pattern designs forged connections among far-flung knitters, who discovered they were a global community rather than lone practitioners of a cozy hobby they’d learned from Mom.” -- Kathy Blumenstock * The Washington Post *
“Quite possibly the only writer you will ever read who can make a discussion of micron counts absolutely riveting.” -- Mary Mooney * The Oregonian *
