Vanishing Fleece: Adventures in American Wool
Clara Parkes2019

A fast-paced account of the year Clara Parkes spent
transforming a 676-pound bale of fleece into saleable yarn, and the
people and vanishing industry she discovered along the way

Join Clara Parkes on a cross-country adventure and meet a cast of
characters that includes the shepherds, dyers, and countless workers
without whom our knitting needles would be empty, our mills idle, and
our feet woefully cold. Travel the country with her as she meets a flock
of Saxon Merino sheep in upstate New York, tours a scouring plant in
Texas, visits a steamy Maine dyehouse, helps sort freshly shorn wool on a
working farm, and learns how wool fleece is measured, baled, shipped,
and turned into skeins.
