The yarn:
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!

What is Mako Cotton?
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.
