We live in a world with seemingly infinite access to knitting patterns and yarn, but that really complicates the task of choosing the right yarn for our next project. Carol Sulcoski's new book focuses on the details of yarn structure, fiber content and appearance (color) to educate the reader about yarn in general, and then she provides a range of simple but appealing pattern designs with which she offers specific options for yarn substitutions, and explains why each of these options may or may not be successful. The photographs of swatches for each option are very helpful and the photography throughout the book will please any yarn lover. I particularly love her use of the word facets to describe the way plied yarns reflect light and shadow to help create stitch definition. I have been knitting for 45 years and teaching knitting and other fiber arts for 25 years; I am delighted to be able to recommend this book to my students as a terrific resource. Review: Should be required reading for serious knitters - This is a great book to learn about how yarn is made, what it is made from, and how to make good decisions as to whether the yarn you want to use will result in the kind of outcome you expect when it’s turned into a garment. The prose is well-written, there are lots of pictures illustrating the author’s points, and I am fairly sure it saved me money right off the bat as I realized the yarn I wanted to use for my summer knitting project was about to cause a knitting disaster. Instead, I learned what yarn I SHOULD use and why. I will keep this reference around to avert future yarn failures (really pilot error) and better match the yarns I love to their best uses. I highly recommend this to anyone who knits and wants to use yarns other than the one the pattern calls for. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07HCVG8DC | | Accessibility | Learn more | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,001,722 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #715 in Knitting (Kindle Store) #842 in Needlework (Kindle Store) #2,097 in Knitting (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (419) | | Enhanced typesetting | Enabled | | File size | 26.6 MB | | ISBN-13 | 978-1454711025 | | Language | English | | Page Flip | Enabled | | Print length | 249 pages | | Publication date | April 2, 2019 | | Publisher | Union Square & Co. | | Screen Reader | Supported | | Word Wise | Not Enabled | | X-Ray | Not Enabled | ## Images ![Yarn Substitution Made Easy: Matching the Right Yarn to Any Knitting Pattern - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/917j7eezwqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent resource for knitters of all levels! *by M***G on April 19, 2019* This is a thorough, clearly written book on the complex subject of yarn substitution for knitters.

Carol takes you through the aspects of yarn construction and further provides explanations of how yarn behaves when knitted. But, WAIT, there’s more. Carol also provides examples through the clever use of a few patterns at the end of the book. These examples are by far the coolest way to show knitters how different yarns behave when knitted. The Yarn Goddess explains the pros and cons through an easy green, yellow, red method to show case why or why not you would want to use different yarns. These informative explanations guide knitters on a journey to select the perfect yarn based on article construction and yarn composition. This is a must need in all knitters libraries. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/114950283-yarn-substitution-made-easy-matching-the-right-yarn-to-any](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/114950283-yarn-substitution-made-easy-matching-the-right-yarn-to-any) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
