Lithuanian Knitting Continuing Traditions (The Art of Lithuania Knitting eBook)

eBook Version ( eBook version is the same version as The Art of Lithuanian Knitting). The eBook version is the original design of the book designed and printed in Lithuania.

Lithuania is a hub of European textile production and a haven for fiber artists. Visitors to the capital city of Vilnius find the narrow cobblestone streets flanked by hidden yarn and folk-art shops. Tourist markets overflow with hand-knitted mittens, socks, wrist warmers and caps. Museums house rich textile exhibits and collections, and traditional handcrafts are demonstrated at street festivals and open-air museums during summer. As soon as autumn’s cool breezes kick up, the streets become a veritable knitwear fashion show. Although Lithuania doesn’t have a reputation as a major tourist destination, the country is a knitter’s paradise.
