  A practical and inspirational guide to choosing, blending and spinning richly textured artisan yarn for weaving, knitting and other textile art applications.
  Imogen Bright Moon is a British Romani textile artist who creates richly textured, highly tactile woven textile works from yarn that she spins and blends herself. In this elegantly designed book Imogen reveals the secrets of her practice. In evocative, engagingly written text accompanied by sumptuous images of her work in her studio throughout the year, she explains:
  • How to choose raw fibres for use in your work: the author's are ethically sourced from various ecologically responsible sources, including a rescue flock of sheep on the South Downs.
  
  • How to put together different types of fibres – raw sheep's wool, plant fibres such as hemp, soya and wild silk, alpaca hair and much more – to create richly textured yarn.
  
  • The delicate art of blending naturally occurring pigments, working with shade and tone to create subtle and nuanced colours, a process that Imogen likens to a painter mixing paints on a palette.
  
  • The principles of hand-spinning, from a simple single spun thread to more complicated yarns such as triple-chain ply yarn, using a traditional floor spindle.
  
  • How to skein, soak and wet-finish your yarn, and how to store your yarn stash.
  
  • Ideas for taking your yarn into finished craft and art projects, with details of the author's own work.
  With an emphasis on engagement with nature, the rhythms of the seasonal craft cycle, ethical making, sustainability and mindfulness, this book is ideal for weavers, textile artists and anyone seduced by the joys of yarn.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Sweet Pea, the youngest mouse in her family of five, faces the biggest challenge of her life. Her father, Babbo, has unexpectedly disappeared at the worst time, just as they are starting crucial chores to stock their storage bins for the winter. She must break through her family's grief. She must overcome her mother's attempts to confine her to their garden. She must venture into an unknown world on her own. And, with no clues, she must try to find and rescue her dad, if he remains alive. After one battle after another against multiple predators, Sweet Pea joins forces with a young mouse named Willow who has escaped from his own captivity. With their survival at stake, she teaches Willow how she has learned to fly with her home-made cape; and together, they utilize that skill, along with their fast banter and quick thinking, to uncover her father’s mysterious past and the possible site of his unexpected capture. In this first book of a series, Sweet Pea must do much more than simply rescue her dad. She must establish a partnership with Willow, track down the renowned Champagne Legend, and confront an unexpected adversary. With these life-threatening journeys, she must start the training to prepare herself for a world beyond her comprehension and a future unlike anything she could have possibly imagined.

  How Stella Learned to Talk - The...

  An incredible, revolutionary true story and surprisingly simple guide to teaching your dog to talk from speech-language pathologist Christina Hunger, who has taught her dog, Stella, to communicate using simple paw-sized buttons associated with different words. 
   
  When speech-language pathologist Christina Hunger first came home with her puppy, Stella, it didn’t take long for her to start drawing connections between her job and her new pet. During the day, she worked with toddlers with significant delays in language development and used Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices to help them communicate. At night, she wondered: If dogs can understand words we say to them, shouldn’t they be able to say words to us? Can dogs use AAC to communicate with humans? 
  Christina decided to put her theory to the test with Stella and started using a paw-sized button programmed with her voice to say the word “outside” when clicked, whenever she took Stella out of the house. A few years later, Stella now has a bank of more than thirty word buttons, and uses them daily either individually or together to create near-complete sentences. 
  How Stella Learned to Talk is part memoir and part how-to guide. It chronicles the journey Christina and Stella have taken together, from the day they met, to the day Stella “spoke” her first word, and the other breakthroughs they’ve had since. It also reveals the techniques Christina used to teach Stella, broken down into simple stages and actionable steps any dog owner can use to start communicating with their pets. 
  Filled with conversations that Stella and Christina have had, as well as the attention to developmental detail that only a speech-language pathologist could know, How Stella Learned to Talk will be the indispensable dog book for the new decade. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  Spaniels are some of the most popular dog breeds, fulfilling working and companion roles in society. While spaniels are typically sociable, outgoing, optimistic and friendly, they have retained many traits reflective of their working gundog origins, such as hunting, retrieving, speed and stamina. These remain essential for working Spaniels, but for Spaniels and their caregivers who find themselves in a more domestic situation, these traits can sometimes prove challenging. This book is an essential guide for anyone who lives with or is thinking about living with spaniels and wants to understand them more. Written by a canine scientist with decades of experience with cocker spaniels, this book explores the origin, care, management and training of spaniels. It considers how to develop a responsive and supportive relationship with your spaniel, and examines practical and fair training approaches to support health, welfare and behaviour in a clear and accessible way.
