Yarn Thread String is a book that gets up close and personal with fibre, telling the stories and processes from venerated traditional thread companies to individual artisans raising sheep to make their own wool.
It looks at natural fibres and how they are made, and how design plays a part in the visual appeal of fibre brands. It also explores innovative fibres that repurpose and recycle our valuable resources.
So much of what we make is created by using various fibres. Knitting, crochet, weaving, sewing, embroidery, rug-making, macramé and many more crafts are made possible with yarn, thread and string. Yarn-Thread-String highlights artists, craftspeople and creative entrepreneurs who use these fibres in unique and inspiring ways. The book provides useful perspectives on what fibre is and how we can use it to express our individuality, creativity and humanity.
