Craft Books

What craft books are available at Spotlight?

Informative craft books are great for guiding you through the intricacies of knitting, macrame, embroidery, crocheting and just about any other art and craft form that involves working with yarns. From knitwear to wall and plant hangings, quilting and reusable shopping baskets, the only limit to what you can create is your imagination.

Working with wool and natural twines - like jute and cotton - is not only aesthetically satisfying but there are some important health benefits attached to the practice. Crafting has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety levels, help younger kids with counting and reading skills, and may even assist with keeping degenerative brain conditions at bay because of the way crafting stimulates neural patterns in the brain.

With a collection of good craft books on your shelves, you'll be creating beautiful knitwear and home decor inspirations with ease in no time at all.
