Description   This extraordinarily beautiful volume offers 45 original patterns for unique merino wool hand-knits - including baby garments, blankets, and mittens - while telling the story of life on idyllic Morehouse Farm. A wonderful collection for knitters who love to use luxurious, high-quality wool in their projects.   Features Tucked away in a valley surrounded by a luscious landscape and rolling hills, Morehouse Farm is home to two former Manhattanites—Margrit Lohrer and Albrecht Pichler—who sought refuge from city life to raise Merino sheep and create the plushest wool of them all. Morehouse Farm Merino Knits opens the gates of this magical farmland with a true city-to-country fairy tale and a fresh crop of patterns for merino handknits. Margrit Lohrer has developed more than forty patterns that range from lacy shawls and classic sweaters to adorable baby garments and colorful mittens, along with a selection of gorgeous accessories for the home—all inspired by the beauty of merino wool and the comfort of life on Morehouse Farm. These inventive patterns include something special for each member of the family, even the cat. Lively sidebars include anecdotes about farm life, helpful knitting tips, and methods for caring for merino wool. Full-color photographs of each handknit set against the lush Morehouse landscape will transport you directly to the farm. As you escape into this charming backdrop, discover the enchanting tale of the farm and follow the wool from sheep to shawl as you read firsthand accounts of caring for the flock, shearing, dyeing, spinning, and knitting with merino wool. Morehouse Farm Merino Knits offers more than forty designs geared for knitters who delight in the soothing qualities of working with a plush fiber. Spoil yourself with merino, the world’s most luxurious wool yarn. Author BiographySeeking refuge from city life, Margrit Lohrer and her husband, Albert Pichler, bought property in the Hudson River Valley. Eventually, the Swiss-born graphic designer and her Austrian-born architect husband transformed their weekend getaway into Morehouse Farm, one of America’s largest breeders of merino sheep, and designed a line of all-natural Merino wool.
