From the guides
- GuideJuniper Moon Farm: which one is which?Cumulus, Zooey, Bud, Cotton+Merino, Herriot, Moonshine Fine, Rambouillet, Bluefaced Leicester, Iris, Saxony, Findley — how the eighteen Juniper Moon Farm lines we stock differ in fiber, weight and yardage, which are the summer cottons and which the winter wools, what the Rainbow, Spray, Stripes and Dappled versions add, and what to knit in each.
- GuideWorking with hand-dyed and variegated yarnKettle-dyed semi-solids, hand-painted variegateds and tonal layered dyes — why a hand-dyed skein pools, flashes or stripes depending on what you knit it into, how to alternate skeins and choose stitch patterns to tame it, when to let it pool on purpose, why hand-dyed has no dye lot in the usual sense and what we do about that, and which of our hand-dyed lines behave which way.
- GuideYarn brands we stock, and what each is known forThe 24 yarn and needle brands on our shelves, grouped by what they do best — hand-dyed merino, self-striping and gradient yarns, American and British wool, alpaca, luxury fibers, summer cottons and linens, needles — with the line to start with from each.
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.
