Juniper Moon Farm Yearling

I used this wool to make two sweaters, one for me and one for my sister (Paloma by Thea Colman and Pinecone by Susan Mills). I used the colors Bashful and Rose Red. Bashful was a beautiful peachy pink, true to the online picture, but Rose Red is a much darker color than shown - almost a cranberry or wine color with magenta undertones. This is definitely a yarn without any sheen to it, just a solid color. Although I was happy with the way both projects turned out, there were numerous bits of straw and plant material in several of the skeins I ordered. This could be a positive for some people, contributing to the homespun feel of the yarn, but for me, picking out all those bits was annoying. Yearling is warm without the itch of 100% wool, both sweaters are holding up well, and overall I'm happy with my purchase.

Service was spot on!

I was not happy with this yarn. I bought it to make the gap tastic cowl for my daughter. I found the wool to be heavy and course. Hard to believe there is any wool in it. Just feels like heavy thick cotton. I don't like the feel of the wool so I won't be making the cowl. Not sure what else I can use it for.

I purchased bashful which I found to be a dull peachy pink.

This is a bulky yarn that knits up very quickly. I'm using it now for a bulky lace pattern (? lace is not the best use, but I loved the sweater and that's how it was designed). I had some extra so I started making crocheted slippers and this yarn is PERFECT for that - it really holds it's shape well and is very comfortable against the skin). After seeing another reviewer's beautiful cowl, I'm going to try that too!

I love the loftiness of this yarn. It is very soft, cozy and perfect for a fall infinity scarf for my daughter. It knits up quick and shows stitches nicely though it gets a little fuzzy when you work with it. Overall it's not bad for the discounted price.

I used Yearling to make Scarves as gifts for coworkers. The yarn is extremely soft, didn't split or shed much. I used a climbing vine pattern and eyelet pattern and yearling showed stitch definition nicely.

Every skein was difficult to ball up. All were tangled in skein. Tons !!! Of vegetable matter in the yarn. Multiple splits and knots. Does feel nice against skin. Knits up nicely

It made a beautiful blanket for my teenage niece. Quite a few knots but turned out great.

I purchased the "misty morning" colorway to make an infinity scarf for someone. The color is absolutely gorgeous--a lovely silvery grey--and for me it was quite close to what I saw on my screen. The yarn is fairly soft and not very splitty at all. The yarn was surprisingly delicate in that when I tried to do a double-knot yarn join, it snapped right away; working with it normally didn't show any similar problems, but I was also very careful after that. My biggest complaint, however, is that there was a LOT of grassy and thorn-like detritus in it! There was literally a bit of sharp plant material embedded every foot or so in the yarn. This was quite tiresome. I work with cotton yarns easily 90% of the time, and I have never had this much garbage in it before. The pieces were big enough that one can easily pick them out, but it's still a pain. Hopefully it is just this colorway that has this problem! It's a generally good yarn aside from the plant problem.

Best thing I ever did was shop WEBS, I found what I was looking for when none of the local yarns stores had it, and it was half the cost!
