The Fleece & Fiber Sourcebook
By Deborah Robson & Carol Ekarius
 
This beloved resource is a must-have for any fiber lover’s shelf. The Fleece & Fiber Sourcebook dives deep into more than 200 animals—sheep, goats, alpacas, llamas, and even more unexpected fiber sources—exploring the unique characteristics of each fleece and how best to work with them.
From staple length and crimp to luster and micron count, this book gives you the tools to understand what makes each fiber special—and how that translates to your spinning, knitting, or weaving.
What we especially love:
Detailed breed-by-breed breakdowns
Stunning photography of animals and fibers
Hands-on testing of how each fiber performs
Spinning, washing, and blending insights from true fiber experts
Whether you're raising your own animals or simply curious about the origins of the fiber in your hands, this book is a deep well of knowledge and inspiration.
