Soft, sophisticated, and wonderfully wearable, Juniper Moon Farm Piedmont combines two exceptional fibers—70% recycled cashmere and 30% recycled silk—in a lightweight DK yarn made in Italy.
Cashmere gives Piedmont its inviting softness and luxurious hand, while silk contributes beautiful drape and a subtle, refined luster. Together they create a yarn that feels special without being overly fussy: perfect for garments and accessories you’ll want to wear again and again.
At 191 yards per 50-gram ball, Piedmont offers generous yardage for a DK-weight yarn. Its smooth appearance showcases stitch patterns beautifully, from simple stockinette and textured stitches to cables, lace, and crochet work. The fabric has enough definition to let interesting stitchwork shine while retaining the softness and fluidity that make cashmere and silk such beautiful garment fibers.
Piedmont is an especially lovely choice for lightweight sweaters and cardigans, scarves, cowls, shawls, wraps, and accessories worn close to the skin. And because it is made from recycled cashmere and silk, it gives beautiful fibers another life while keeping the focus exactly where it belongs—on how wonderful the finished project looks and feels.
Made in Italy.
