✨ Introducing Glimmer, a beautiful new yarn from Juniper Moon Farm!

If you've been looking for a yarn with just a touch of sparkle, Glimmer is worth a closer look. A soft cotton blend is accented with delicate paillettes and fine metallic threads that catch the light without overwhelming your project. The effect is subtle, elegant, and surprisingly versatile.

One pattern we think pairs perfectly with Glimmer is the Isla tank by Julie Powell. It's a simple, timeless design that's perfect for summer days and easy to layer throughout the year. Glimmer adds just enough shimmer to make this wardrobe staple feel extra special.

You can also hold Glimmer together with another yarn to add a refined glow and beautiful texture to sweaters, shawls, and accessories.

Stop by the shop or browse all the available colors online and see what catches your eye!

Have you knit with Berroco Aerial yet?

This lightweight blend of mohair and silk adds a beautiful softness and halo to any project. It can be carried alongside another yarn for extra warmth and texture, or used on its own to create a fabric that feels light as air.

One pattern we think showcases Aerial beautifully is Triple Time by Elizabeth Smith. The sweater is knit with three strands of lace-weight yarn held together, creating a surprisingly lightweight fabric with wonderful drape and softness. The seamless top-down construction makes it an enjoyable knit, and the finished sweater is one you'll reach for again and again.

We have a lovely selection of Aerial colors available in the shop and online. If you've been looking for your next sweater project, this might be it.
