Juniper Moon Farm Santa Cruz Organic Merino, 100 g

Juniper Moon Farm Santa Cruz Organic Merino – GOTS-certified knitting yarn in organic merino

Santa Cruz Organic Merino from Juniper Moon Farm is a knitting yarn made from 100% organic merino wool in a medium weight (worsted/aran). You can knit jumpers, cardigans, hats and scarves with it. The yarn is GOTS certified and mulesing-free. Choose your colour from the options.

Each ball weighs 100 g and has a length of approx. 175 m. This makes it easy to work out how much you need: divide the metre requirement in your pattern by 175 and round up. That tells you how many balls to buy.

What Santa Cruz is suited to

The yarn is made entirely of merino wool and feels soft against the skin. The medium weight suits jumpers, cardigans, hats and scarves for autumn and winter. Textured stitch patterns such as cables, rib or lace show up well at this weight. If you need several balls, buy them from the same dye lot where possible so that there are no colour differences in your knitting.

Needle size and care

Needles from 4.5 to 5.5 mm are recommended. What matters is the tension given in your pattern; the needle size given by the manufacturer is only a guide. Wash items knitted in Santa Cruz by hand and dry them flat so that they keep their shape.
