"A delightful hodgepodge of information, artifact, propaganda and personality, Knitskreig! A Call to Yarns...examines the challenges of expense, shortages and human weariness, all in the face of increasingly rapacious military need. The book is filled with absolutely fascinating stories, people, artifacts and research, and it fills a needed niche as it privileges and deeply explores women's contributions to various war efforts as providers of uniquely female 'familial-industrial' artifacts. A Call to Yarns is a captivating read that will surprise and interest an unexpectedly wide audience."-- "Open Letters Monthly"
