cers. It is a rare and capricious rela-
tive of the camel that lives in the high
mountains of Peru. Its wool is lighter,
stronger and finer than that of the
cashmere goat (2), which produces the
probably most famous and most used
luxury wool. Similar to cashmere, but
more fluffy and more difficult to care
‘for is the wool of the angora rabbit
(3). The wool of the alpaca (4) is super-
warm and strong. The alpaca lives in
the high, cold regions of the Andes,
which is why its wool is very long.

FIBRES such as linen (3), silk (6) and
cotton (7) become important during
the summer months. They possess
great cooling qualities and are often

made of colour. Many consider Fassett to be the god-
father of patchwork design. In reality, he is a master in
just about every artistic discipline, from painting to
embroidery, sewing, mosaic and writing, Fassett was born
in 1967 in San Francisco and grew up inthe atist colony
in California's Big Sur. He studied painting in Boston then,
moved to Great Britain in the 60's, where he discovered
his passion for designing knitting patterns. His models,
designed exclusively for Missoni, fascinated Lauren
Bacall and the young Barbara Streisand. Fassett’s bold
se of eolour and the luminosity of his ambitious patterns
Quickly gained him the reputation of a visionary ~ which
he has remained to the present day. Kaffe Fassett’s
unconventional designs, fabulous instruction books, and
personal dream of a life with colour have been influential
for decades. You can learn more about this exceptional
artist in the beautiful ilustrated book *Knitting with the
Color Guys*, in which Fassett provides exciting insights
