About the Book

Pam Blasko and Virginia Scholomiti have collaborated to bring you a fun, inspiring collection of ideas and patterns. All hand spun yarns are works of art, created by hand and totally unique to the spinner. Sometimes it can be daunting to decide what project to choose for these fabulous yarns. 'Unleash Your Design Power' gives you over thirty ideas to highlight your favorite yarns. The combined background of these shepherds/fiber artists provide a wealth of creative ideas and patterns for you to draw from. You will find that becoming the 'designer' is not a bit intimidating. If you spin, knit, crochet, weave or felt, you are already designing. You simply may need a jumping off point to help decide how to use some of your creative yarns. These ideas and patterns were chosen to be virtually 'no fail'. They can be knit or crocheted in different types of textured and non-textured yarns, and easily accommodate various skill levels and tastes. You will find ways to stretch your precious hand spun and art yarns by using stitches that add in complimentary yarns, whether they are mill spun or hand spun from your stash. Ideas for working with unprocessed fiber, knitting locks directly into you piece, creating yarn without spinning, and other fun and interesting ideas will spark your imagination. Beautifully illustrated this book is bound to spark your love of creating with fiber. The experience and knowledge that Pam and Virginia gleaned from years of tending their own flocks feeds an appreciation and celebration for the unique and individual qualities of natural wool fiber. There are also several video and digital tutorials from 'Shepherds Talk ... All Things Fiber' that you will be able to access with a private URL found inside this book.

About the Author :
​ If you are looking for a lighthearted approach to learning all about fabulous wool fiber from spinning, knit and crochet projects, weaving and more-you have come to the right place! Whether you are an established fiber addict, or you are just starting your journey, we know you will find something to spark your interest and creativity. Shepherds Talk . . . All Things Fiber is a collaboration created by Pam Blasko and Virginia Scholomti. Both are experienced shepherdesses, spinners, knitters, weavers, dyers, fiber artists and enthusiastic teachers. Their inspiration and love of exploring all things fiber is catching. ​Pamela Blasko lives on a small farm in Oxford CT with her husband Mike, where they raise wool producing animals so that Pam can create fun and whimsical handspun yarns. The fleeces and raw fibers that the animals yield, she processes by hand, including washing, carding and dyeing, to insure that when she spins her yarns she is using only the finest materials. Pam's favorite yarns to spin are art yarns with bold colors that are usually big and bulky, full of character and personality. She translates these fibers into knitted works of art. Pam also fashions felted art work, using both wet and needle felting techniques. In this way she creates one of a kind clothing items, boxes, rugs and framed wall art Virginia and her husband Tom live and work on their farm "The Yellowfarm" in upstate New York. Their Wensledyale and Teeswater sheep are bred to excel in the show ring with exceptional conformation, and shine in the fiber world with their breathtaking fiber. Collaborating with Pam Blasko in creating "Shepherds Talk. . . All Things Fiber" provides a venue to create tutorials and instructional videos for other avid spinners and fiber artists. Emphasizing the individual characteristics of natural fibers and working to preserve them in final projects is a passion of hers. Co-Author of their first book, "Ideas and Patterns for Art Yarns" Virginia loves the creative process and sharing ideas through mixed media.

Review :
"This book has helped me sell my own hand spun yarns. People are always asking me how to use my yarns and now I have a wonderfully inspirational resource to show them. Thank you Pam and Virginia for providing this book!" Holly Partridge "I love the way that Virginia and Pam present these materials. Always inspiring and creative even with the simplest of patterns. Everyone will feel encouraged and excited to get started on their own projects. Please keep the ideas flowing" Elaine Garvey
