Here, for the first time, is an exclusive collection af knitting
patterns in pure new waol which have been specially
commissioned from many of today’s leading fashion designers
and spinners.
The Designer Knitwear Collection offers hand-knitters a unique
opportunity to create exciting and imaginative sweaters by
distinguished international designers such as Zandra Rhodes,
Pierre Cardin, the Emanuels and Kaffe Fassett, and spinners such
as Emu, Patons and lister. There are a total of 36 outstanding

But The Designer Knitwear Collection is much more than simply a

are knitted in pure new wool and the Woolwoolwool section
explains the unique properties which make pure new wool so
popular with designers and knitters. The Designers contains
interesting biographies of all the contributors, while Knitting
Know-how at the back of the book is a handy, illustrated
reference section, describing the materials, techniques and
accessories needed, and giving careful washing and drying
instructions to help keep the garments in perfect condition.
Stylishly designed and beautifully presented, this glamorous book
will be a tremendous inspiration, bringing the pleasure and
distinction of designer patterns to beginners and experienced
knitters alike.
