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.

We’re releasing Willa in 12 colors for Fall/Winter 2011

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 yard, 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”.)

Several of you have asked where and when you can get your hands on the three new Juniper Moon Farm lines. The yarn will be released for Fall/Winter 2011 and will be coming to a local yarn shop near you. This is where we need your help! We need you to encourage your local yarn shop owner to order Juniper Moon Farm’s new yarn lines. All you have to do is print out our flyer and bring it to your local yarn shop, or you can just tell them that you are anxiously awaiting these yarns and ask if they will be carrying them. Write the name down for them if you have to and tell them KFI is the distributor. We can’t get this yarn to you unless your shop orders it, so please let them know you want it!

Hello JMF Team,
Just wanted to know when & where your yarns will be available. Can’t wait to see the list of stockists!

Ashley June 17, 2011 at 2:49 pm

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!

Deanna June 21, 2011 at 7:51 am

Starting to get “the knitting fever” again after looking at the beautiful yarns and colors – going to start my Christmas gift list now!

micki henderson June 22, 2011 at 5:19 pm

Do you have a date for the fall shearing? Also I didn’t recieve an email about the spring shearing!!!
Would love to bring my knitting group in the fall.

Maggi July 5, 2011 at 10:24 am

Hey, y’all – on the stockists list, Got Yarn in Richmond is actually an online seller, not a shop we can visit, FYI.

Susan July 5, 2011 at 5:22 pm

Ooooh. Thanks Maggi! We’ll change it.

Meg "Softailstitches" July 6, 2011 at 6:20 pm

I’m forwarding this to my LYS – Elegant Stitches – in Miami, Florida. I hope it works out!

Jessica Reininger July 26, 2011 at 12:30 pm

We just received our first shipment of all three yarns (Twisted Ewe in Boise, Idaho). They are so beautiful, and I’m very excited to start projects, as are our customers!

Carla Willingham August 18, 2011 at 6:44 pm

:D Carla

Susan August 18, 2011 at 6:50 pm

What a lovely thing to hear! I am so excited that you like it and are spreading the word. Which colors have you used?

water_moon August 22, 2011 at 4:05 pm

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.

Hannelore September 11, 2011 at 3:54 pm

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.

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

Chrissy September 17, 2011 at 2:12 pm

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!!!

Diane October 3, 2011 at 7:47 pm

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!

Veronica October 27, 2011 at 4:05 pm

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!

Susan October 28, 2011 at 12:44 am

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

Where can I buy the Sweet Georgia cash silk and cashmere? I’m in humboldt and trinity county.

Susan December 28, 2011 at 8:17 pm

Hi Colleen, I’m not sure which yarn you’re talking about but it doesn’t sound like one of mine. Is this what you’re looking for? http://shop.sweetgeorgiayarns.com/collections/dyed-to-order/products/cashsilk-lace

Kay East February 3, 2012 at 7:38 pm

Am looking for Bulky yarn in Natural color, approx. 115yds per skein/approx 4 oz. Loved the Willa yarn and finished a beautiful afghan and gave it to my son for Christmas. Now looking for the Bulky. Do you have this?
thanks,
Kay in Virginia

Janice February 22, 2012 at 10:20 pm
