Each chapter contains explorations of fiber types; profiles of well-known yarn types, makers, and yarn suppliers; and garment patterns inspired by the featured fibers.

Hannah Thiessen finds inspiration in texture, color, and pattern, especially as it can be applied to wool and knitting. An avid knitter and handspinner, Hannah also pursues her love of the natural fiber world through crochet, floorloom weaving, and a career in connecting yarn companies with the craftspeople they serve. She also writes copy and creates content for corporate clients such as Shibui Knits, Knit Purl, and The Sheep's Stockings. She was previously the Creative Director for both Malabrigo and Premier Yarns.
