“If you have ever run your hand over a fleece and sighed, picked up a ball of yarn and groaned with pleasure...then you are a person who may just lose yourself in the pages that follow.” So Deborah Robson and Carol Ekarius (writers, editors, and fiber lovers) write in the introduction to The Fleece & Fiber Sourcebook.

This beautiful book is a detailed guide to the origins and characteristics of the animals from around the world that produce your favorite fibers—in fact, more than 200 animals are explored (14 of which are distinct breeds within the Merino sheep family alone!).

Filled with color photography, detailed infographics, illustrations, and glossaries, The Fleece & Fiber Sourcebook is an invaluable volume for any knitter, spinner, or weaver!
