Juniper Moon Farm Expresso 73
- This yarns' color is a very dark chocolate, nearing black.
- If you can't wear black, you might be able to pull this very dark brown.
- Wear alone or do color work pairing with other earthy shades.
- The dye takes less intensely in the silk, so there is a lovely heather appearance. This silk really shows in this color.
- This yarn is a single ply, and works up with a lot of loft and texture.
- My hand knit sample swatch was wonderful to work with.
- Juniper Moon's best-selling yarn is Moonshine.
- It has buttery softness that is a sheer joy to work with.
- It's a single ply with a silk sheen showing through the heathery blend.
- Holds textured stitches such as cables and lace beautifully.
- Our test knit on the Silver Reed LK150 was a delightful experience. Knit smoothly and evenly. The heathery appearance was amazing.
- Blending these high quality materials
- Organic silk content for vibrant sheen

Moonshine lives up to its name! The (20%) organic silk content makes the colors glow, while the (40%) highland Peruvian wool and (40%) extra fine baby alpaca are a buttery soft combination. These mix of fibers in this single ply yarn all take the dye at different intensities, making this yarn have a visible heathered appearance. Whether knitting or crocheting simple mitts or elaborate sweaters, you'll be reaching for Moonshine again and again.
