What a great fiber book! Learn the basic elements of knitting, crocheting and more. First, this book introduces you to different types of fibers and briefly explains the applications for each. To start the crafty part, there are several, simple felting projects to introduce students to the way natural fibers lock together. There are some other simple braiding, weaving and knotting projects as well as learning how to make your own yarn from wool. Next, youll learn both spool and traditional knitting as well as how to make a bag, a scarf and more. Knitting not your thing? Try out crocheting next! After learning some basic stitches, you can make jewelry, a hat and more. The book even includes information on different methods of dyeing your own yarn, reusing yarn from sweaters, or making other types of yarn from old plastic grocery bags or t shirts! While the amount of information sounds overwhelming, it is all presented in a very kid-friendly, unintimidating manner, so even a not-so-crafty parent can help out. 148 softcover pages. Laura
