Just in time for the gift giving season, we have a fresh restock of Mrs. Moon yarns! Available in three bases, Mrs. Moon yarns come to us from the UK. These luxuriously soft yarns are a blend of Merino and Baby Alpaca. In addition to a gorgeous palette of colors named after sweet treats, these yarns are ethically and sustainably sourced, so you can feel as good about stitching with them as you will feel wearing them!
Mrs. Moon yarns have an extensive library of patterns designed specifically for these bases. Find project inspiration with both knit and crochet patterns for all levels!
We’ve rounded up some of our favorite patterns for each base – Plump DK, Plump Super Chunky, and Podgy (Jumbo) – to inspire your gift making.
