: The Yarn Book, by Penny WalshYarn is the basic unit of textile construction and every fabric, except felt is made with it. The properties of yarn — its ply, tensility, strength, weight, elasticity, and resistance to heat, water, shrinkage — are what give each yarn its unique characteristics. By manipulating these properties, an astonishing array of fabric types can be produced, creating any number of textures and appearances. By focusing on these varieties, Penny Walsh is able to closely examine the composition and construction of different yarns and explore their many uses.
