Natural Knitter, The: How to Choose, Use, and Knit Natural Fibers from Alpaca to Yak


In The Natural Knitter, Barbara Albright takes readers on a rich journey through the joys of all-natural fibres - materials that can make an incredible difference, both in your knitting and in the health of our planet.

From the animals and plants that produce the fibres to the artisans who work with them, The Natural Knitter presents the first-ever all-encompassing look at the world of natural knitting.

Tempted by the versatile and beautiful yarns produced from the fibers of llamas, sheep, cashmere-producing goats and angora bunnies - as well as from cotton, hemp, linen and silk - some of the most renowned designers in the textile industry have contributed patterns to this collection.

Over 20 wonderful projects each highlight the softness, drape and quality of the fibre used - from Norah Gaughans Architectural Rib Pullover in cashmere and wool yarn and Vicki Squares Uma Sweater in silk yarn, to clever designs like Debbie News Cast-Off Clothing in hemp yarn and Barbara Albrights Lillianas Organic Cotton Poncho and Drawstring Pouch design for organic cotton yarn.

Meet the entrepreneurs who are creating beautiful products that are also non-toxic and earth-friendly, using plant-dyed fibers and unique processes.

For the adventurous, step-by-step instructions are included for dyeing yarn naturally at home.
