This Israeli Mako Cotton blend is oh-my-gasp, like “did an angel just brush my cheek?” soft. Come squish the sample baby blanket at Shrimp and Knits and tell me you don’t immediately decide that every baby you know deserves Juniper Moon’s Cumulus in their life. (Spoiler: you will.) Meet the Rainbow version of Juniper Moon Farm’s Cumulus Yarn — the cloud-soft cotton that looked at regular yarn and said, “Sweetie, let me show you what luxury feels like.” This beauty blends 94% Israeli Mako Cotton (aka the fancy, extra-long, ridiculously soft stuff) with 6% Nylon for strength, so you get all the dreamy softness with a little backbone. Think “marshmallow with good posture.” The Rainbow palette? Pure joy. Long, self-striping color repeats that drift gently across your project like a Tuscan sunset had a baby with a box of gelato. The colors unfold in big, happy waves, giving you that delightful oh look, it’s changing!moment every few rows. Cumulus is cloud-like, breathable, and perfect for anything close to skin — baby knits, lightweight garments, cozy accessories, the whole shebang. It’s soft enough for year-round wear and charming enough to make even your simple stitches look fancy. If you’re into yarn that’s gentle, gorgeous, sustainable, and makes you whisper “oh my goodness” every time you touch it… welcome. Your new obsession has arrived.
