Juniper Moon Farm Cotton + Merino is a worsted-weight blend of 70% organic cotton and 30% merino wool that combines cotton's cool breathability with the softness, warmth, and resilience of wool.
It's an especially versatile choice for sweaters, cardigans, wraps, and other pieces meant to be worn across seasons. The high cotton content keeps the finished fabric comfortable and breathable, while the Merino gives it more bounce and structure than a typical cotton yarn.

Why You'll Love Cotton + Merino
- Breathable but not flimsy: Organic cotton keeps garments comfortable in milder weather, while Merino adds body and resilience to the fabric.
- Softer and springier than pure cotton: The wool content gives the yarn a little more elasticity, making it pleasant to knit with and helping finished pieces hold their shape.
-
Ideal for transitional seasons: Cotton + Merino is a useful choice when you want more warmth than cotton alone but don't need the insulation of a 100% wool yarn.
What to Knit with Cotton + Merino
Cotton + Merino works particularly well for projects where you want softness, breathability, and enough wool content to give the fabric some structure.
