Many people think that wool is wool, so what’s the importance of learning about different types? Clara Parkes compares wool blends to mixing different types of wine together and selling it as generic “wine.” She explains that generic wool blends lose the unique properties of different breeds of sheep. Instead, different sheep breeds produce different types of fleece, with different textures [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], colors, structures, durability, and flexibility. These different fibers produce different types of wool yarns, and understanding these differences helps knitters and crocheters choose the perfect yarn for a project.
Wool is often mixed with other fibers, such as silk, alpaca, and mohair, in a finished yarn. Clara Parkes explains which breeds of wool work best with other kinds of fibers, as well as what blends are best used

The Importance of Different Types of Wool Yarn
This section ends with a resource guide on how to find fiber festivals and get these various types of wool fiber.
This section divides sheep breeds into categories based on fineness of their fiber, fineness affecting the feel and luster of wool and also how it should best be used in a project. There’s finewool (such as Merino), mediumwool (such as Corriedale) [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], down and down-type wool (such as Shropshire), longwool (such as Bluefaced Leicester), and dual coated and primitive (such as Icelandic and Shetland).
The Knitter’s Book of Wool, by Clara Parkes, is a thorough reference guide for knitters, crocheters, spinners, and anyone else interested in wool. Clara Parkes’s first book, The Knitter’s Book of Yarn, had a basic discussion of wool fiber, but this book goes even further in explaining different types of wool. This fully illustrated book teaches everything a knitter needs to know, plus gives new ideas for knitting projects.

Clara Parkes then explains how wool goes from being a fleece straight off the sheep’s back to being a finished yarn. The Knitter’s Book of Wool explains how wool is removed from a sheep [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], mostly through shearing or combing, how it is cleaned, and how it is spun, including woolen and worsted spinning. There are also different types of dyes and dye processes. Finally, Parkes explains how to evaluate wool yarn, including how to tell if it is well made.
Wool is hair from a sheep, and The Knitter’s Book of Wool explains the structure of wool, what makes it unique from other fibers, and how this structure affects how it should best be used. Parkes explains such fiber terms as crimp, scales, and microns, and the different kinds of hairs that a sheep may have. Wool structure affects its softness, luster, flexibility, and feltability, and all of these factors need to be considered when choosing a yarn for a project.

One of the most fascinating parts of The Knitter’s Book of Wool is when Clara Parkes goes through virtually every sheep breed and explains everything a knitter, crocheter, or spinner would want or need to know about their wool fiber. The book goes through each sheep breed and explains the breed’s origin, from naturally occurring to deliberately bred, the fiber’s particular characteristics, and what this wool is best used for. There are also pictures of the different types of sheep and their fleece, to give an even better idea of how different sheep’s wool can be from breed to breed.
