Ethical Provenence of Mrs Moon Yarns
The tops are from non-mulesed Merino sheep from ethical farms, all the wool is shorn and not a bi-product of the animal skin industry as the sheep are kept for wool production alone. The alpaca is also shorn, the animals being kept for fibre production only.
Washing
Plump Superchunky and Plump DK are made from the highest quality superfine merino and baby alpaca. These really are special and luxurious fibres and should be treated carefully! Having said that both yarns are suitable for delicate hand washing. Use a specialist detergent and do not agitate or twist the fibres to retain the gorgeous softness and shape of your garment.
Shedding
Because of the roving nature of our yarns (they are single ply, rather than tightly twisted), some shedding may occur. The best way to deal with this is spray your finished garment with water and leave to dry flat, naturally before the first wearing. This sets the fibres and should stop any problems.
Jersey Be Good | Turquoise
This upcycled yarn is made from fabric offcuts swept up in Turkish t-shirt factories. Why send them off to a landfill when we can work with the locals to turn them into our Jersey Be Good yarn that you can knit AND crochet with?
Please note: Due to the popularity of Jersey Be Good, colors sell out quickly. Depending on the exact fabric scraps the yarn is made from, the color, feel and thickness of the yarn can vary. Also, this yarn no longer comes wound on cones as shown in some photos.
$14.50
*Quantities are limited, please order only one per person as it’s perfect for the ties and earloops on face masks. One skein of JBG yarn can make over 50 face masks.

Feeling Good Yarn | Midnight Blue
Feeling Good – the clue’s in the name. This cosy cutie is no soft touch though, it’s super durable but fluffy at the same time. Better still, it’s a sustainable yarn from the Andean Highlands that gets behind Peru’s remote alpaca communities.
Light as a feather with a fluffy brushed appearance and nice texture, this relaxed yarn works with simple stitches or complex textures and it’s really easy to knit with.Feeling Good Yarn is soft enough to be close to the skin so we recommend roll neck sweaters, snoods and scarves, hats – lightweight pieces that will be very warm.
