Common Thread

Common Thread is the debut knitting book by Rui Yamamuro, a Japanese designer based in Paris.

The title refers to the thread that connects people, traditions and generations. For Rui Yamamuro, yarn represents not only the craft of knitting itself, but also the connection between handcraft traditions of the past and those of the future.

The book features 12 versatile knitting patterns designed to be worn throughout the year: 6 sweaters, 2 cardigans, 2 skirts, 1 vest and 1 pair of trousers. Drawing on her background in garment construction, Rui combines refined shapes and thoughtful details with comfortable, wearable designs inspired by everyday life in Paris.

Common Thread is a beautiful collection for knitters who appreciate timeless garments, interesting construction and understated elegance.

This book is printed in a limited edition and will not be reprinted.
