A beautiful book with gorgeous illustrations. The author is quite famous in Pennsylvania. He’s certainly a talented man. If you watch the sheep to shawl contest at the Pa farm show, he is usually the MC. If you have a young person in your life I highly recommend this book.

Cute story, adorable illustrations, and educational about weaving in a “spoonful of sugar” style.

Lovely fiber art book.
Lovely book to share with grandchildren of a weaver. Engaging artwork.
I would recommend this book to any fiber artist who weaves. I share books like this with children to help them understand what I do with yarn and fabric.
