We knitters always have at least one special skein tucked away – the precious one waiting for the perfect project. These skeins sneak into our stashes in all sorts of ways: a souvenir from that unforgettable yarn shop in Italy, a holiday gift from a friend who knows us too well, a new base from a favorite dyer that simply refused to stay on the shelf… This book was written for those special skeins, the ones we treasure, admire, rearrange lovingly, and are secretly a little afraid of.

One Skein Knitting is a collection of 18 modern accessories designed to celebrate a single, glorious skein with the help of Ksenia’s specialty: texture.

• The book features designs for a range of yarn weights from lace to Aran and colorways from solid to heavily variegated

• Projects include shawls, scarves, cowls, mittens, socks, and headwear

• Each piece is full of texture, from cables and lace to Estonian braids and nupps

• Perfect for portable, quick, and rewarding projects
