Hi everyone! Sarah here with today’s Saturday Stash: Juniper Moon Farm’s Herriot Fine!
This is another one that Michelle and I discovered when we were at the yarn conference (H&H) last month. We already carry Cumulus (one of my faves!), so when we stopped by the JM booth to see our rep, I felt this and fell. In. Love.
Herriot Fine is made of extra-soft, extra-fine baby alpaca, and I want to just rub my face in it. Even though it’s a sock weight, it’s very warm due to the fact that alpaca fiber has a hollow core which adds an extra bit of insulating warmth. The yarn is also 25% nylon, which means that it is more durable than some wool-only products. You can even use it for socks! We have 10 solid colorways that give incredible stitch definition, along with a beautiful halo that will really make your projects stand out.
This yarn has a soft drape and is great for wraps, scarves, garments, and more! In fact, I’ll be doing a shawl with it myself - the Leeanne pattern in the Balsam, Dollhouse, and Jute colorways. Look for it this summer in the shop!
