From the Publisher
Knitters have spoken! Single-skein projects are all the rage because they''re portable, fun, quick to finish, and the perfect answer to that stash of orphan yarns. Already, Judith Durant''s One-Skein series has delighted knitters everywhere with fabulous single-skein patterns contributed by yarn shops and noted knitwear designers.
Now, Luxury Yarn One-Skein Wonders, the third book in this popular series, brings indulgence to the one-skein concept! The newest one-skein patterns are the most decadent yet, featuring the most sumptuous yarns on the market from snuggle-worthy cashmere to the exquisite qiviut, and from the lustrous alpaca to the ecofriendly soy, corn, and bamboo yarns.
Contributors include designers, yarn manufacturers, and well-known knitting and crocheting teachers. Like previous One-Skein books, Luxury Yarn One-Skein Wonders features two-color illustrations throughout, as well as a full-color photo gallery of projects.
Patterns include baby items, personal accessories, toys, and garments from an adorable babysweater knit from merino and bamboo to beaded cashmere socks. Not only are these projects fun and fast, they offer knitters a great excuse to pick up several skeins (really now, no one can buy just one!) of to-die-for yarns.
With Luxury Yarn One-Skein Wonders in hand, knitters who crave something special will create fabulous, heirloom-worthy projects without breaking the bank.
