Molly Duncan's Spin Your Own Wool (1968) was a landmark in the literature of craftwork in Australia and New Zealand. Creative Crafts with Wool and Flax, its natural sequel, carries the craftworker forward from the first processes of spinning, dyeing and simple weaving to their application in knitting, advanced weaving, rugmaking and embroidery with the same clear and helpful guidance that distinguished the author's first book.

An added dimension is given by the inclusion of flax work; the relative virtues and practical blending of home-spun and commerical threads are fully explained; and a special feature running through the book is the importance of colour and texture, and how startlingly beautiful effects may be obtained from their use.
