Mrs Moon Plump DK is a soft, single-ply DK yarn spun from 80% superfine merino and 20% baby alpaca.
It is made from the same fibres as Plump Superchunky and comes in the same shades. The yarn is roving in nature: single ply with very little twist, which keeps the fibres soft. They are lightly felted together during spinning so the yarn doesn't split as you work.
Plump DK is a standard DK / light worsted weight yarn that works well on 3.75–4.5mm needles. Because it is single ply with little twist, some shedding is normal; a gentle block after knitting helps it settle.
The shades are named after sweets and puddings, such as Fondant Fancy, Pistachio Ice Cream and Gooseberry Fool.

About Mrs Moon
Mrs Moon is a British yarn and pattern company run by sisters Susan and Karen, who started out with a yarn shop in south-west London. Plump, their first yarn, is made from superfine merino and baby alpaca in a palette of sweet-themed colours.
Ethical provenance
The merino tops come from non-mulesed sheep on ethical farms. All the wool is shorn rather than being a by-product of the skin industry, and the alpacas are also shorn and kept for fibre only.
Designs
Mrs Moon also designs simple knitting and crochet patterns that mix colours and textures. Most are reasonably easy, and each pattern gives its skill level.
