Spinning Tails
Author: Tom Knisely
Featuring the same adorable family of mice as in The Weaver's Surprise, Tom Knisely spins this tale of their adventures turning fleece to yarn. In this story, the weaver shears his sheep, dyes the wool, and then starts to spin and weave the yarn into a blanket. But that wool looks so soft and inviting to the little mice--surely their friend won't mind if they take a little for their beds?
Spring on the farm means sheep-shearing time! In this enchanting tale, a family of adorable mice learn how sheep fleeces can be dyed, spun, and woven into a blanket. But that wool also looks so soft and inviting to the little mice—surely no one would mind if they take a little for their beds? Featuring the beloved family of mice from The Weaver’s Surprise, Tom Knisely spins this yarn of their new adventures. What will happen when the weaver runs out of wool for his blanket? Can his mouse friends replenish his supply in time?

Such cute books
"Wanted to get these books by Tom Knisely for a holiday gift. Great way to pass on our love of textiles. Fast shipping from Woolery"

"I really enjoy this book. I love most children’s books about fiber activities, but this one has extremely accurate pictures. And the mice are really cute. I bought this for some of my favorite farm sitters who have young children. I hope it reminds them of taking care of my sheep and goats."
