Morehouse Farm Merino Knits

This is an extraordinarily beautiful volume of patterns and information about merino wool. It features fascinating sidebars and tips about merino sheep lore and the author's own journey to breeding champion sheep. It includes more than 40 patterns, from baby garments to jumpers and shawls. "Morehouse Farm Merino Knits" is much more than a collection of 45-plus original patterns ranging from shawls and jumpers to baby garments and mittens, just as Margrit and Albrecht are much more than sheep breeders. Accompanying the inventive patterns, which include something special for each member of the family, are schematics and illustrations to help guide knitters. The book features lively sidebars describing sheep farming, merino wool history, the story of wool as it travels from sheep to shawl and numerous other details.
