Folk Shawls
|
Another great book from Interweave Press.
"Folk Shawls is the first book of its kind. Tapping on knitting and other textile traditions from around the world, Cheryl Oberle has produced a superb collection of 25 unique shawls. Knitted in wool, cotton, cashmere, and various luxurious blends, these are shawls fro today, each one more wearable than the last. To those who say, 'But I don't wear shawls,' Cheryl says, 'You jsut haven't met the right shawl.' We're sure you'll find it here."
The author has included brief histories about shawls from each country. Beautiful photographs and charts complete the book.
