Another amazing yarn from across the pond: Mrs. Moon has just landed in space! Arthella and I were absolutely delighted by this booth at the trade show in June. It was bright, light and full of beautiful color and the two most delightful women on earth. We may have dived in quickly and surprised them a bit with our excitement.

We are stocking both Mrs. Moon Plump DK and Mrs. Moon Plump Superchunky, with a third even “plumpier” yarn on its way as soon as it is available to us. Both weights of yarn are made of the highest quality, ethically sourced, superfine Merino and Baby Alpaca. We have 9 colorways in the most British of names (and three more on their way!)
The yarn is single ply, with little twist, but it’s important to note that during the spinning process the fibres are slightly felted, which helps prevent the yarn splitting when working with it.
Mrs. Moon’s yarns are incredibly soft and squishy — gorgeous to work with and wear!

Project ideas
Mrs. Moon is also known for their beautiful patterns. Here are a few of our Plump Superchunky favorites, a couple each for knit and crochet!
Mrs. Moon Hat
![The Mrs. Moon Hat uses just one skein of Plump Superchunky.](https://fibrespace.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/one_skein_crochet_hat2_medium2.jpg)
Mrs. Moon’s First Scarf
![Mrs. Moon's First Scarf uses two skeins of Plump Superchunky for the crocheted body of the scarf. If you want tassels (which, yes), snag a third and go for a contrast color!](https://fibrespace.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DSC_0059_medium2.jpg)
Swirly Hat
![This Swirly Hat knit project can be made with just on skein - including the pom pom! If you want a contrast pom, two skeins will net you two hats. One for you and one for a gift!](https://fibrespace.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/swirly_hat_medium2.jpg)
Tilly’s Hat Snood and Mitts set
![This set is super quick to knit up and warm and snuggly to wear. All three pieces are knitted in the round so there's no sewing up. If you are just doing the hat in one color you will only need one skein of Plump Superchunky. Two skeins will make the whole set!](https://fibrespace.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/3_hat_mitts_snood_lo.jpg)
