This work with a 24-page full-colour insert aims to provide 101 solutions to the one-skein problem. If you’re like most knitters, you have lonely skeins of yarn in your closet — casualties of projects discarded mid-row or leftovers from long-completed pieces.

Covering a wide range of tastes and styles, this collection will inspire you to dig out your orphan yarn and get stitching.
