Altocumulus, from Juniper Moon Farm, reimagines what cotton can be. Soft, breathable, and unexpectedly dimensional, this yarn is spun in Italy from a thoughtful blend of cotton and polyamide that brings both comfort and structure to the fabric. The cotton delivers a cool, gentle hand, while the polyamide adds subtle elasticity and strength, which allows stitches to bloom with a cushioned, cloud-like texture that holds its shape beautifully. Unlike traditional cottons that can feel flat or heavy, Altocumulus creates fabric with body and resilience, even at a bold, bulky gauge. Knitted up, the surface is lightly textured and full of life, enhancing both simple stitches & more detailed patterns. Finished garments feel breathable yet stable. Ideal for sweaters, cardigans, and layering pieces designed to move with you and maintain their form over time. A warm-weather or transitional staple with a quietly luxurious feel. Altocumulus is a yarn for knitters who want softness and structure, speed, and refinement. 92% Cotton, 8% Polyamide 12-14 stitches over 4" on US 9 - 11 218 yards per 100g ball
