About Moonglow Yarns

Moonglow colorways have beautiful light and dark tonal shading that will add depth and dimension to your project. Color tone and placement will vary from skein to skein due to the nature of hand-dyed yarn.

I photograph Moonglow yarns outside in natural lighting and do my best to accurately depict each colorway on screen. Please keep in mind that indoor/outdoor lighting, the screens of our computers/mobile devices and even the human eye all vary color perception, so color may differ slightly from what you see on screen. 

Every effort will be made to color match sweater quantities but there will always be variation from skein to skein in hand-dyed yarn. Therefore I always recommend alternating skeins when knitting with hand-dyed yarn. It is an extra step you will never regret taking.

Care instructions

Handwash cold with delicate wool wash. Lay flat to dry.
