A Yarn with a Story

Moonshine Fine Hand Paints brings together the finest fibres: baby alpaca for plush softness, wool for warmth and bounce, silk for a whisper of sheen and recycled nylon for strength and sustainability.

Each skein is hand-dyed in Peru in rich, layered colourways that give your projects dimension and life. No two are exactly alike, and that’s part of the magic.

Fair Trade certified and backed by OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 and the Alpaca Blend Mark, this yarn supports animal welfare, environmental responsibility and artisan craftsmanship.

It’s indulgent yarn with a purpose: spun slowly, dyed beautifully and made to last.

Moonshine Fine Hand Paints is luxury that doesn’t compromise on ethics. It’s soft, airy and strong, equally suited to intricate lace as it is to cosy socks.

The luxurious blend of baby alpaca, silk and mulesing-free wool
