Nestled in the rolling hills of central Virginia, you'll find Juniper Moon Farm, a place where fine wool sheep and Angora goats produce some of the finest farm yarns in the United States. The flock spends their days grazing on sweet grass and sleeping under the stars.

Zooey
Juniper Moon Farms Zooey
Zooey is a soft blend of cotton and linen with a slight thick & thin texture. This is a DK weight yarn that really softens up after washing (and it's machine washable.) Zooey is a great yarn for warmer weather, as cotton and linen are both cool fibers; the cotton adds softness to the yarn, while the linen adds strength. It's available in a range of subtle earth-tone shades.

20 - 24sts = 4" / 10cm on 3.25 - 3.75mm / US 3 - 5 needles
