Vanishing Fleece: Adventures in American Wool by Clara Parkes

challenging hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

I adored this book and have already recommended it to like three people. Clara Parkes is such a charming writer and demystifies the whole wool industry in a way that feels completely accessible and fascinating. But this book isn’t just about wool. It’s also about the humans behind the wool industry, and she tells their stories with such care and curiosity. I think everyone who knits or crochets should read this book, but even if you aren’t into fiber crafts it’s still such an enjoyable read. The last chapter and acknowledgements had me in tears. I highly recommend the audiobook as the author reads it herself and adds a lot of character and heart to the story.
