Spinning Tails
Featuring the same adorable family of mice as in The Weaver’s Surprise, Tom Knisely spins this tale of their adventures turning fleece to yarn. In this story, the weaver shears his sheep, dyes the wool, and then starts to spin and weave the yarn into a blanket. But that wool looks so soft and inviting to the little mice—surely their friend won’t mind if they take a little for their beds?
What will happen when the weaver runs out of wool for his blanket? Can his mouse friends replenish his supply in time?
Tom Knisely is a popular weaving teacher, writer, and instructor at the Red Stone Glen Fiber Arts Center in York Haven, Pennsylvania, He is the author of The Weaver's Surprise, as well as many instructional weaving books including Weaving Rag Rugs, Handwoven Table Linens,Handwoven Baby Blankets, and Huck Lace Weaving Patterns with Color and Weave Effects.
