Few things cause more to unravel in a tight-knit crafting community than a stranger with the capacity to spin things out of control. At first, the youthful yarn bomber from France who descends on the Flatlands Fiber Guild seems as skilled at winning people over as he is at working a spindle. But Benjamin Letellier quickly frays the fabric holding his art professor's family together when he starts dating her college-age daughter, Sigrun. As the wool tufts start flying, the adversaries find refuge in a startling crocheted mural that shows up out of nowhere in downtown Prairie Plains. Amid the tension straining the bonds holding family and friends together, an epic love grows like a tapestry from tangled clumps of wool.
