Clara Parkes

Powell's City of Books 1005 W Burnside Street, Portland, OR, United States

Vanishing Fleece: Adventures in American Wool (Abrams) is a fast-paced account of the year Clara Parkes spent transforming a 676-pound bale of fleece into saleable yarn, and the people and vanishing industry she discovered along the way. Join Parkes on a cross-country adventure and meet a cast of characters that includes the shepherds, dyers, and countless workers without whom our knitting needles would be empty, our mills idle, and our feet woefully cold.
