Lune uses our wonderfully soft and toasty Twisted Tweed Sport yarn. This unique fiber blend includes two types of wool that are twisted together. Because they take the dye differently, the result is a cool, barber pole effect with gold, plum, and brown Donegal Tweed neps flecked throughout. This yarn base has such an earthy, homey, charming feel. It can be dressed down and worn in the most casual of cozy settings or dressed up for elegant occasions. Twisted Tweed Sport has a heirloom, yet hip, modern vibe. This yarn is a heartwarming blend of 43% Superwash Merino Wool, 42% Fine Merino Wool, and 15% Donegal with 384 yds/351 m per skein.
The sample shown here was made with our Grassland Hues Twisted Tweed Sport Kit and used approximately 1,460 yds/1,335 m total (Color A: 370 yds/338 m, Color B: 370 yds/338 m, Color C: 350 yds/320 m, and Color D: 370 yds/338 m).

My father would tell me that when he sees the moon, he thought of me and wondered if I was looking at it too. He lost his sight a year ago and as an artist of 92 years, this was devastating. It was then I that would tell him when I saw the moon and what phase it was in. He would ask waxing or waning... He has been wanting himself over the last year and peacefully passed last week. I hope he knows that I'm still looking up at the heavens for him.
As a young girl I delivered newspapers with my dad. It was usually still dark out when we made the deliveries. He told me ‘if we can see the moon it isn’t going to rain’. To this day when I see the moon, I think of my dad, our time together and his saying. Generally this saying has proven true. Thank you for helping me remember my dad at this moment. 💕
As a young girl living on the farm with my grandma, we used to sit on the porch, my head resting on her lap, listening to the cicadas, frogs, and coyotes, and watch the moon rise. We would play a game. What do you see in the moon. Those days are still vivid even though she's been gone many years.
Many years ago on a full moon, I was soaking (skinny dipping )in a hot springs. I pulled myself out to sit on the side of the pool and the man next to me said “darling, you shine like a pearl”. I thought to myself, I can do that. That is still (30 years later) one of the nicest compliments I’ve ever received.
Growing up, my family moved around a lot, due to my father being in the military. So, an important time in my life is whenever I got to go to my grandparents house to visit or stay the night. Grandpa and I would sit outside on the long front porch swing and look at the moon. I would then get up and go chase the fireflies. Something about them dancing around the yard with the bright moon shining down on them made them look magical, like little fairies dancing around and celebrating the wonder on the beautiful moon. Grandpa has long since passed on, but the memory stays with me forever.
I remember walking with my boys out in the garden, my youngest was a toddler. He was just learning to put together phrases and really express himself. He looked up at the full moon visible in the daylight and he shouted “Get down Moon!!” We all laughed hysterically and yell GET DOWN MOON! when the moon is full.
As a pagan who honors the moon, I must say this shawl is gorgeous. I really want to make it to wear for my full moon rituals. To me, the moon is all about connecting with the Divine Feminine and one's powers of intuition. I read tarot and oracle cards that correspond to lunar magick and astrology.
I love watching the moon. It gives me such solace, I laughed when you said to put on some soothing music of birds. As I live in the country I only need to step out on my back porch to hear the birds, watch the rabbits, squirrels, wild turkeys & deer grazing in the field behind my home. Such a peaceful and relaxing place. I often take my crochet projects out and enjoy my tea or coffee. This shawl is gorgeous and I am sure I will love it. ❤
I love the description in the Bible where it calls the moon a "faithful witness" (Psalm 89, verse 37). It makes me think of all the incredible people through the millenniums that have looked up at the same moon that I'm looking at and been awed and inspired.
The moon brings me joy. As a kid, some of the best times was playing kick the bucket at night 😊. My mother told me a story of when she was a kid. She said every Sunday evening her and her siblings would visit their grandparents. The grandparents told them to bring their toothbrushes. After dark, they all gathered around a bonfire holding their toothbrushes because the grandparents told them that if they tossed their toothbrush in the fire, it would shoot them to the moon 😂. My mom said she remembered being terrified but excited because they wanted to go but wasn’t sure how they would get home. 😅
For me, the moon has always held an almost spiritual significance to me. I'm a night owl and the moon has always been my constant companion on those long insomnia riddled nights.
When my husband was alive we would go outside just about every night to look up at the sky. We enjoyed the moon and all the stars! I miss that time! I would love to make this shawl in his memory. Thank you lovely lady!!
The moon has always been a symbol of mysticism, and yet calming and steady at the same time. I have enjoyed many, many evenings and nights quietly sitting, sometimes laying on the grass, staring at the moon absorbing the still serenity of the moment. Each memory is precious.
I am a star gasser and love seeing the faces of the moon. It reminds me of how my life has light and sometimes slowly there's darkness creeping in, but I to remember that Jesus Christ is the light of the world and He lives inside of me!!🤗❤ The shawl looks so beautiful!! Love the colors!! Look so peaceful and restful!! I am glad it is crochet!!🤗❤❤
I learned how to crochet from my Grandma at the age of 5, who loved to crochet lace tablecloths and doilies. Watching her crochet was mesmerizing for me and I literally spent hours admiring her beautiful handiwork. Life happens, and now many years later, I cherish having the time to resume this most relaxing hobby.
My favorite evening walks are when the moon is full and the white clouds are visible. It is so peaceful.
The night was perfect, with a soft breeze and a full moon illuminating the night sky. My dad and I sat on his houseboat off the coast, listening to the gentle rhythm of the water and feeling the rocking of the boat below us.
I was with my Maltese husband in Malta. It was hot and we decided to go for an evening swim. We had the whole beach to ourselves so we swam naked down a silver ribbon from the gorgeous full moon under a cloudless purple sky. Off in the distance we could softly hear a band playing "String of Pearls". Suddenly off to our right and some distance away there was a glorious display of fireworks the colors reflecting on us and the water. I will never forget this perfect night shared with the love of my life. In my mind I return to this memory whenever I feel the need to remind myself how beautiful life is. ❤
I love your voice. It is calming. I love the things you provide for us that are easy for even the newest crocheter! Thank you! As an RN of 47 years I can definitely tell you that the moon is a powerful force of nature. The same moon that can pull the tides can cause a mom to go into labor. It also causes havoc in nursing homes, jails, mental wards, etc. I love watching the same moon here in Missouri that my oldest son can see in San Antonio. Thank you for all you do!
What a lovely pattern! One night when I was a young teen, I woke up in the middle of the night and was drawn to my window. I did not understand why. But when I went to the window, there was such a beautiful tableau of a full moon shining down on a lovely red rose that seemed to be reaching up toward my window from the rosebush planted there. It was breathtaking and felt it was a special gift to me! I'll never forget that night.
