JMF – SPRING/SUMMER 2013

Moonshine, and the new colorways of Sabine, Yearling and Findley Dappled are now available at yarn stores across the country!

JMF – FALL/WINTER 2012

Herriot

Herriot, named for literature’s favorite veterinarian, is a DK-weight 100% baby alpaca yarn that comes in 10 natural, undyed shades. It’s deliciously soft and utterly gorgeous– you won’t be able to resist it! We’ve paired this yarn with a book of colorwork patterns designed by Pam Wynne and Caroline Fryar. It runs the gamut from stripes to intarsia– be on the lookout for it at your LYS!

Herriot is available in 10 natural shades:

Sycamore, Heartwood, River Birch, Walnut, and Talc

Ghost Fern, Bullrush, Granite, Travertine, and Eucalyptus.

Marlowe

Named for the pastoral poet, Marlowe is a 50/50 blend of merino and silk that comes in 10 lovely variegated colorways. It’s loosely spun as a single, which makes it incredibly soft, and the silk content makes the colors absolutely glow. We’ve paired this yarn with a book of charming accessories, designed by Marie Grace Smith. Between the gleaming jewel tones and the warmth of the yarn, Marlowe’s just the thing to keep you cozy through the winter.

Marlowe is available in 10 tonal variegations:

Stanza, Garland, Riparian, Melodious,and Sylvan,

Arcadia, Carpe Diem, Georgiana, Allegro, and Madrigal.

NEW – Findley Fall/Winter 2012 Colors

Dove, Mermaid, Malachite, Menemsha, and Tiger Lily

Garnet, Tyrian, Cocoa, Oyster, and Rappahanock.

JMF – SPRING/SUMMER 2012

We have three FABULOUS new yarns for Spring/Summer 2012! Sabine, Yearling and Findley Dappled are now in local yarn shops all over the country.

JMF – FALL/WINTER 2011

Willa

A 60% Merino, 40% Super Fine Kid Mohair blend in a bulky weight with an ice cream cone twist. I wanted to make this yarn particularly because so many knitters think they don’t like mohair. I say if you don’t like mohair it’s because you’ve never knit with good mohair. Super Fine Kid Mohair doesn’t have any of the itch associated with lesser quality mohair, it’s gloriously soft and has a lovely sheen.

Aberdeen, Merry, Lagoon

Steel, Norwell, Pomegranate

Vitamin C, Bollywood, Concord

Marine, Heliotrope, Aquarium

All photos by Joel Eagle, who is a prince because it’s super-hard to get the colors right.

The colors were designed to work together, so the possibilities are amazing!

Willa was named for Willa Cather, one of my favorite authors.

Findley

Findley is our lace yarn, 50% Merino 50% Silk, 100% luscious. At nearly 800 yards, you’ll be super happy that it’s in a ball, rather than a hank you have to wind! The yarn is super smooth with a beautiful sheen. It’s soft, doesn’t split and it feel A.MAZ.ING when it’s knitted up.  And it comes is 12 lovely colors.

Midnight, Renaissance, Bittersweet

Bloom, Fresco, Atmosphere

Byzantine, Crocodile, Poppy

Hyancinth, Graphite, Serendipity

Tanis has designed ten lace patterns for Findley that totally knock me out. Gorgeous sweaters, gorgeous accessories. You will want to knit them all!

Chadwick

The first thing I want to tell you about this yarn is that it’s named for one of my personal heros. Alan Chadwick was a leading innovator of organic farming techniques and brought biodynamic farming to America.

This yarn is so special, so soft and so lofty that you may never want to knit with anything else. 60% Merino Wool/40% Baby Alpaca. Single ply. 3.5 oz. 202 yards in a center pull ball. And oh my! The colors!

Black Magic, Swimming Pool, Patti’s Pink

Mystic, Clear Skies, Mercury

Indian Paintbrush, Dawn, Hannah

Blush, Clean Sheets, Mississippi Mud

For Chadwick, Tanis has come up with lots of fun, fair isle projects, sweaters and accessories that you will love, but honestly, you can knit anything out of Chadwick and it will become your favorite FO. (That’s knitter talk for “finished object”.)

Is your Local Yarn Store not stocking Juniper Moon Farm Yarn? Let them know that you want to see it! You can let them know that KFI is the distributor so they’ll know who to order it from.

I’m so excited that your farm is growing so successfully that you can produce this yarn! I love supporting farms and local, organic growers and I think it’s great that you can make this yarn in the us, and that the Chadwick is organic too!

A heads up for those of you who, like me, live in the middle of nowwhere (at least when it comes to a LYS) Jimmybeans has the Findley in stock OL. But it only one color ATM, so I’m buggin them until I can get some Serendipity!

Alison Hyde September 3, 2011 at 7:36 pm

I had to come looking for your website. I saw Findley for the first time yesterday at a shop that, through the traffic, was nearly an hour away. (Cottage Yarns in South San Francisco.) Didn’t buy it…

Got back in the car today, went back up there, and came home with the offwhite that I knew all along I had to have. It is so much softer than some merino/silks I’ve encountered. The spinning is perfect both in twist and weight. This is IT!

Susan September 4, 2011 at 1:27 am

Alison, your comment made my day! Thank you and enjoy your Findley.

Hi!!!

Just got the Debbie Bliss magazine for the Fall/Winter 2011. And would like to purchase the pattern for the “hat” on page 6 of same while iontroducing your Juniper Moon Farms Yarns. Of course, the yarn also from Juniper Moon Farm Yarns. But I can’t seem to get to the pattern and type of yarn used for same on your website?? Thanks.

Reply

Jenny September 12, 2011 at 3:00 pm

Hi! We’re so glad you like the pattern, it’s one of our favorites! The hat is called the Sluggy Bonnet, and it is made with our Chadwick yarn. I’m not sure where you are located, but you can find our stockist list here. If there is a yarn shop near you, they will carry the Chadwick pattern book, which contains the pattern for the yarn, and the yarn itself. If there is not a stockist near you, you can order it online from any of our online dealers, including WEBS (yarn.com), Bonnie’s Kozy Knits (bonnieskozyknit.com) or the Yarn Barn (yarnbarn.com).

Happy knitting! :)
Jenny

What beautiful yarns you have! I’ve just found your site and you’re doing such wonderful work!!
I also saw your shepherd’s giveaway, and the poor dog! I wish I could take them all, but I travel too much :(
Keep up the great work! I’d love to come visit sometime!!!

I am SO looking forward to Shepherd School! And while there would love to purchase some wool and a pattern for a light & lacy, soft & warm, triangle-style shawl. I hope you can point me in the direction of some patterns before I arrive. Carla, what pattern did you use? Been bugging my local store (Strands) to get on the band wagon & order up some JMFF stuff. Maybe if I walk in with the goods they will decide to act!

Hey! I just got an invite from Mia Bella Yarns in Highland Park, IL for your trunk show, which I´m very much looking forward to going. I was wondering how much the yarns are and what type of discount you guys will be giving at the show. You know budgets: gotta plan everything! Thanks in advance. Cheers and best of luck!

Veronica, I don’t actually know. Every shop does it differently but I will find out and let you know ASAP.

Heidi December 19, 2011 at 2:10 pm

Jenny,
Just listened to your recent interview with Kathy at Webs. Wonderful story. I have to tell you I knit with your Chadwick earlier this year. I was a contract knitter for Tanis on her designs with your yarn. I did not know what the yarn was at the time as everything was unlabeled. But I have to tell you it is the softest yarn out there. I loved the loft as I was doing color work and it filled it so beautifully when blocked. It was like knitting with cotton candy, a true pleasure. I knit two designs and can’t wait to see them in published form.

I would love to get my hands on some Findley as I prefer to work at the smaller gauge. I also work in a yarn shop in Pittsburgh and may have to talk with the owner about your line. Is there anyway to get samples? I believe we already have an account with KFI will we be notified automatically when the yarn is available?

My daughter lives in Norfolk so I may have to take a trip this spring down through Charlottesville and check out the farm. I used to raise Romneys and Border Leicesters and a few Southdowns (boy were they buggers to lead) so I would love to visit your farm.

Thank you for your beautiful yarns,
Heidi

I stumbled across your Findley at Cottage Yarns in South San Francisco and brought two white skeins home. I want to tell you how much I’m enjoying this yarn. It is so soft and it is so beautiful–and I’m a picky knitter. Even in the crumpled-tin-foil stage of laceknitting, it sparkles and shows off and doesn’t want to be put down. I’m knitting a shawl for a bride and it is just perfect.

Susan March 13, 2012 at 9:01 pm

Alison, what a lovely thing to say! I am so glad you’re enjoying knitting with Findley and I’d LOVE a picture of your finished shawl.

I am puzzled by the “Made in Italy” on the Juniper Moon Farm Findley Dappled yarn.

Reply

Susan May 20, 2012 at 11:07 pm

Cindy, our commercial lines are produced from fleeces from other farms at different mills around the world. Our small farm couldn’t produce any where near enough yarn to support the yarn we sell in yarn shops- it would take many, many thousands of sheep every year. Our farm yarn is available for sale through our CSA shares only, because it is very limited and precious to us.

We’ve been very candid about the fact that we can’t produce all the yarns from the very beginning. I hope that clears things up!

Have been looking at your wonderful site and yarns and sheep and dogs and . . .
Now I wonder if there is a yarn shop in Vancouver B.C. Canada or the lower
mainland of B.C. that carries your Herriot yarn.
Thanks

Hi Mary Anne,
We aren’t in any shops in Canada yet, but I know WEBS and a few other shops do ship to Vancouver. Let me know if you need help locating a shop.

Hello!

I’m looking to knit a pair of fingerless mitts for a friend, and she loves this stripe work and colors:

img2.etsystatic.com/008/0/5850331/il_fullxfull.395011006_qhh8.jpg

I can’t find anyone who sells sampler packs of natural wool, and so I thought to search on Ravelry.
Do you sell samplers of natural undyed yarns in similar colors as the picture above?
Please let me know, and if you can, how much would it be? I can’t pay a lot and am still shopping around.
Thanks!
