"I am amazed how many delicious projects one can knit with one skein of sock yarn! Bon appetit!"

knitting lace expert and owner of The Wooly West Nancy Bush

The latest in Durant's popular "One-Skein Wonders" series (Luxury Yarn One-Skein Wonders) focuses on the world of sock yarn—one of the most vibrant categories of yarn available in today's marketplace. Sock yarn is obviously great for socks (and there are sock patterns in this book), but its light weight and soft yet sturdy qualities make it particularly suited to mittens, shawls, scarves, and knits for babies and children. With 101 projects, there's something here for every taste and skill level.
