Description

Juniper Moon Cumulus Yarn is an amazingly soft, luxurious, cloud-like yarn comprised of 94% Israeli Mako Cotton and 6% Nylon that is perfect for wearables, accessories and especially blankets! Cumulus is not only feathery soft, but durable and breathable, and though it has a high cotton content, the Israeli Mako Cotton is lightweight. Seriously, I fell in love with this yarn the moment I held a sample in my hands and was so surprised that it still looked freshly knit despite being 8 years old and kept on display. As if you need another thing to sell you, but you’ll also love the ease in being machine washable!

Now, Cumulus comes in different versions that can be used interchangably – the original of solid colors, the Dappled version (variegated), the Degrade version (ombre cake with longer color sections) and the Rainbow version (cake with longer color sections). This listing you’ll find all the Variegated Colors & Striping Yarns so if you’re looking for some great solid colorways to pair with these fun colors, you’ll want to make sure you check out my listing for Juniper Moon Cumulus Yarn Solid Colors.

I’m including all of the variegated colors and striping yarns in this listing so they’re easy to see in one place, but keep in mind that the first one is a hank that will need to be wound into a cake and the last two are center pull balls that are ready to use.

When you click the color name in the drop-down menu, it will bring that color up on the screen. They are listed in the order that the colors appear in the photos. You can use the following photos to determine where the different versions begin:

One of my favorite crochet stitch patterns uses mosaic crochet. I’ve named the series Through the Window, and my favorite way to work it is with a variegated yarn as the windows and a coordinating color over top. Cumulus would be perfect for shawls and afghans worked in this stitch pattern. Above, you see my Through the Window Scarf (not worked in Cumulus, just as an example).
