Books Knitting Books L thru Z

The Woolery maintains an extensive inventory of titles for all aspects of the fiber crafts, including spinning, weaving, dyeing, knitting, machine knitting, crocheting, felting, fiber animals and a wonderful collection of childrens' books that have a fiber craft or animal tilt. We think you will find something for every occasion. If you would like recommendations or don't see a title, give us a call. Books, particularly craft books, come and go, so the list is always changing. We will keep this on-line list up to date.

JUDGING A BOOK BY ITS COVER - now you can. Most of the books listed on this page have a link to a new page with a color picture of the cover and a more complete description of the book. Covers are presented in relative size so you can also estimate the size of the book. We hope this makes buying books on-line from The Woolery easier.
