Juniper Moon Farm Cumulus is one of the loftiest, softest and most scrumptious cotton yarns we've ever had on our needles or hooks! This Israeli Mako Cotton blend is as soft as a kitten! The long staple length of Mako cotton is the highest quality fiber. Light as a feather, Cumulus is perfect for baby blankets and garments, and it is next-to-skin soft for scarves and shawls too!
When we saw this beautiful pairing of Cumulus and Cumulus Rainbow in this sweet baby blanket, we were blown away! And a pairing of Cumulus and Cumulus Degradéwould be spectacular too! The pattern is simply the knit stitch, but the stitches are slid to the opposite end to work the next colour, creating a stockinette section between each ridge--how clever!!!
Two skeins (one of two colours) makes a generous 66x74cm blanket using 5mm needles.
The Sliding is Fun blanket pattern is available free on Ravelry.
Cumulus Degradé creates a beautiful ombré slow-striping effect in this easy-to-knit garter baby blanket! Perfect for that last-minute baby shower gift!
Knit on size 5mm needles, the blanket uses two skeins of Cumulus and measures 76x76cm

Mako Cotton is prized for its extra-long staple length, which produces the smoothest, strongest cotton fibre available. It is spun into a chainette construction, which allows for air to pass through the yarn. This creates softer, more lightweight fabric than traditional spun cotton yarns.
