1: Shear Spirit
Wonderful book, a must have for any knitter/yarn lover. Beautiful pictures along with great stories from the people and animals who bring us the yarn and fiber products we love so much. Very diverse, this book features fiber farms from around the country, no two are alike. Plus this book has patterns! Who could ask for more?

2: Shear Spirit
Great pictures and interesting storiesShear Spirit: Ten Fiber Farms, Twenty Patterns, and Miles of Yarn
I also found a perfect sweater pattern I was looking for from one of the featured farms.

3: Pretty Much What I Expected
This book was very much what I expected. It is meant to be more of an inspirational coffee table book than a how-to. As a handspinner, I almost wish that some of the projects were geared towards handspinners with instructions on how to make the yarn for the particular project rather than requiring the millspun yarn that the book gives (although I do understand that the people whom the book covers also want to sell their products). Overall, a beautiful and enjoyable book.

4: eye candy
Almost every knitter and spinner I know has dreamed of having a hobby farm with sheep of their very own. This book tells stories of those lucky ducks who get to live the life we imagine. It tells of the romance (skirting a fleece with a glass of wine *sigh*) but also tells what an incredible amount of work these people go through to get us our pretty yarn.
The photography is gorgeous. Drooly gorgeous.

5: Beautiful stories
This book is beautiful to look at and informative to read. This is not primarily a knitting pattern book, but a book about sheep and wool. The photos are gorgeous and the stories are about families and animals and farms--compelling and enjoyable for anyone who enjoys fiber arts and anyone who sometimes feels like chucking everything and going to a farm somewhere to raise alpacas.
