Juniper Moon Farm | Patagonia Organic Merino

Juniper Moon Farm spins this yarn from Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified, sustainable, non-mulesed, pesticide-free organic merino wool from Argentina. Patagonia Organic Merino yarn is both hearty and soft and has a lovely bloom after it is washed. Juniper Moon Farm does not superwash treat this yarn, so it has a slightly sheepier feel than most merino yarns, but is still suitable against the skin. Its loftiness means it makes wonderful warm cozy sweaters and accessories, and that slight extra stickiness means it is fantastic for colourwork.

Patagonia Organic Merino yarn has fans around the world. They love it for the way it softens up and blooms after washing, for its grippiness and for its quality/price/value ratio. If you are looking for a yarn to give your project a rustic feel, take this one for a spin.

About Juniper Moon Farm

Juniper Moon Farm’s yarn began as a yarn CSA. Yarn fans paid an up-front fee and got a share of the yarn Susan Gibbs produced with her sheep on her United States East Coast farm. Over time, she has expanded her business, designing yarns out of many different fibres and fibre combinations.
