An in-depth guide to choosing the right yarn for your project—including 10 patterns that explore how different yarns affect the outcome of your final product.   When beginning a project, every knitter confronts the question: “What yarn should I use?” The answer can be complicated. Sometimes the recommended brand is unavailable or too expensive—or you’d rather use extra yarn from your stash. But even similar products might yield different results, altering structure, size, and texture. Now, trusted knitwear designer and teacher Carol J. Sulcoski provides solutions to this common conundrum, offering a wealth of information. She explains what characteristics to consider when substituting yarn, and gives guidance on calculating the quantity of yarn you'll need and how to evaluate your swatches. Ten projects offer case studies of yarn substitution in action; each finished project shows suitable alternatives and reveals how yarn choice affects every aspect of the item.

At this time of writing, The Audiobook Yarn Substitution Made Easy: Matching the Right Yarn to Any Knitting Pattern has garnered 9 customer reviews with rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Not a bad score at all as if you round it off, it’s actually a perfect TEN already. From the looks of that rating, we can say the Audiobook is Good TO READ!

In Carol J. Sulcoski's seventh book, she brings her immense knowledge of yarn and how it behaves to the topic of how to choose a different yarn than the one specified in the pattern. In the first section, "Yarn Fundamentals," she tackles huge topics that have had whole books written on them and distills out what you need to know about yarn behavior, content, weight, construction, and visual dye effects. The second section guides you through choosing a substitute yarn for a pattern based on the characteristics of the yarn specified for the piece, with an eye toward getting a similar result. (She specifically states that this book is not about how to rewrite a pattern to suit a different weight yarn.) The third section offers deliberately simple patterns, each chosen to highlight a yarn characteristic (one requires very elastic yarn, another a very drapey yarn, another requires a yarn with excellent stitch definition, etc). Each of these patterns is written for a specific yarn, and then Sulcoski shows you good, workable, and poor swaps for each one, and why they are good substitutions or not. This book is valuable to anyone who doesn't always choose to purchase the yarn specified in a pattern. It's written in a very readable, almost conversational style. I found that, having been a knitter for over 25 years (ouch!), I realized that I already understood a lot of this information, but in a more intuitive way. I probably couldn't have articulated it well, and certainly not as well as this author, with her years of experience teaching. I also tend to stick to certain corners of the knitting world. Give me some hand-dyed merino and I won't bother anyone until my tea goes cold. This book's information is still useful to me. For instance: that cardigan was written for a camel/silk/yak blend - can I get away with merino? What about merino/silk?My only nitpick is that I found a couple of typos. They likely will be fixed in the next printing, and do not detract from the information presented.
