How much Herriot Yarn do I need?

Enter the total yardage your pattern lists for your size — most patterns give it per size. We divide by the yards in one skein, round up, and add one to hedge against a tight gauge.

Yarns at the same weight with a similar fibre and a similar yardage per gram, so a pattern written for Herriot Yarn knits to gauge in them. Swatch first — every yarn drapes its own way.

More from Juniper Moon

Juniper Moon Farm makes the yarns we sell most of, and it is easy to see why: each line is built around one good idea. Cumulus is a blown cotton — a fine nylon mesh filled with Mako cotton — so it weighs half what a worsted cotton usually does and knits into tees and summer cardigans that do not sag. Zooey is a rustic cotton-linen DK that softens with every wash. Herriot is 100% baby alpaca at a worsted gauge, the warmest thing on the shelf for its weight.

The farm's wool lines are worth knowing too. Moonshine Fine blends alpaca, wool, nylon and silk into a sock-and-shawl DK; Rambouillet is American-spun extrafine merino; Bluefaced Leicester has the lustre of the longwool it is named for. Bud, a chunky cotton slub, is the quick summer project. Juniper Moon is distributed in the US by Knitting Fever, and we carry the full colour cards on the lines above.
