Juniper Moon Farm Patagonia organic merino wool yarn, 100 g

Juniper Moon Farm Patagonia – knitting yarn in GOTS-certified organic merino wool

Patagonia from Juniper Moon Farm is a knitting yarn in 100 % organic merino wool, in light/DK weight. According to the manufacturer, the yarn is spun from GOTS-certified, mulesing-free, pesticide-free wool from Argentina. Mulesing-free means the sheep have not been mulesed, a procedure involving the skin on the hindquarters. Choose your colour from the options.

Each skein weighs 100 g and has a length of approx. 350 m. This figure makes it easy to plan the quantity for your project: convert the total requirement in your pattern into metres and divide it by 350.

What Patagonia is used for

Light/DK is a medium yarn weight. It suits jumpers and waistcoats as well as hats, gloves and scarves. Merino wool feels soft and works well for garments worn next to the skin or at the neck. The recommended needle size of 3.75–4.5 mm gives you some leeway: smaller needles give a denser fabric, larger ones a looser one.

Tension and planning quantities

The ball band states 21–24 stitches over 10 cm. What matters is the tension given in your pattern; the figure on the ball band is only a guide. Buy the quantity for your project in one go if you can, so that the colour stays consistent throughout.
