Exquisite Little Knits Knitting with Luxurious Specialty Yarns Cashmere, mohair, angora, sequin, eyelash fringe, and faux fur: these are the most
luxurious and expensive yarns, often too costly to use for a knitting project of any great size.
But these 35 breathtaking items are small enough that knitters can afford to indulge in the finest
materials, and easy enough for beginners to complete with ease. Thumb through the exquisite photos
of each specialty yarn, complete with descriptive introductions to its unique qualities and advice
on how to work with and care for it. Follow the short and simple instructions to make a long scarf
with bouclé trim, a snazzy flapper-style hat from a mohair-silk blend, and the ultimate pashmina
shawl. Each item is dramatic and unique.
The book covers numerous techniques such as double knitting, ribbon wrapping, adding beads and sequins to tassels and even creating a belt in one piece by casting onto and off of belt rings. About the AuthorsIris Schreier is a full-time designer for Artyarns.
