This book traces the sweater's 300-year history as an aesthetic and craft object, telling the story of its materials and construction, national traditions, fads and fashion, and accessories. Learn about the panoply of yarns, Nordic patterns, buttons, vintage collars, runway designs, manufacturing, and today's explorations of form, structure, and material. No matter how far we have come technologically, there is something fundamental in the art of hand craft. This book expertly guides readers full circle through the inception of the hand knit to the advancement of technology and back to knitting with natural fibers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jane Merrill,Keren Ben-Horin,Gail Demeyere\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 076435261X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780764352614\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Schiffer Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.10h x 9.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Jane Merrill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448928153855,"sku":"9780764352614","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_41bdc5b2-1d96-443a-b6a9-7db4f758f11b.jpg?v=1777261195","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-sweater-jane-merrill-9780764352614","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
