Deborah Robson's Guide to Fiber: Karakul

The mainstays of rug- and felt-making for thousands of years, Karakuls have been unfortunately overlooked by most contemporary fiber workers. It’s an amazing fiber, full of color and possibility and with a deep back story. This ancient breed may be one of the oldest domestic sheep. An overemphasis on softness means we’ve been missing its amazing versatility! Printed document plus free digital version; 8x8" publication, 8 pages. This document contains a combination of theory and practical knowledge for fiber arts enthusiasts of all skill levels. The handouts are heavily illustrated, because I find photos and diagrams extremely helpful to my understanding.
