Wool is truly one of nature’s most versatile fibers. As clothing, it regulates moisture and temperature, keeping us cool in the heat and warm in the cold.

The variety of wool available to us has never been more diverse, from superfine Merino for luxurious lace to strong Spelsau for rugs that endure through generations.

This collection of projects and articles is all about exploring the possibilities of wool—and what it can bring to your creative life. Get started with one of our three feature articles, with project finishing tips and details on why some yarn is prickly. Then, stitch and weave your way through 14 projects, including blankets and shawls, hats and accessories, and so much more. We’ve curated these wooly delights with you in mind, and we hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

Featuring selections from all your favorite brands, including Handwoven, Easy Weaving with Little Looms, Farm & Fiber Knits, Spin Off, and PieceWork, this collection is truly a celebration of wool.
