Socks are a perennially hot topic in the knitting world and in this, the third book of her popular "The Knitter's Book of..." series, bestselling author Clara Parke's shows knitters how to create the perfect pair of socks, with a collection of 20 fresh, original patterns from today's sock-design visionaries.

In The Knitter’s Book of Wool and The Knitter’s Book of Yarn , Parkes educates knitters on the ins and outs of fiber and makes minutiae interesting. Here, she describes the qualities that make yarn suitable for sock knitting, explores the different types of fibers that can be used in sock yarn, and analyzes stitches and stitch patterns commonly used in sock knitting. There’s also a beautifully curated selection of sock patterns, including new designs by some of the biggest names in the field. Though the instructions are clear, the majority of the patterns are best suited for those with sock-knitting experience. An essential addition. -Library Journal
