We couldn’t resist adding a little sparkle. Prom is a playful blend of 95% Vermont-raised Montadale and Cheviot wool with just 5% glittering fiber for that extra-special shine. We dyed the wool in the wool—before spinning—to ensure even color throughout the batch and avoid pooling. Soft, springy, and full of character, this yarn is ready to be the life of the party.
Because this wool comes straight from a local farm, you may find the occasional bit of hay or grass—easily picked out and a reminder of just how close to the source this yarn really is. We hope it inspires you to create something magical.

Care
Wet-Blocking Care Instructions
Your project isn’t truly complete until it’s had its first wash! Here’s how to help our yarns reach their full potential:
- Fill a sink or basin with cold water.
- Add a small amount of no-rinse wool wash.
- Submerge your knitted item, gently squeezing out any air bubbles to ensure it stays fully underwater.
- Soak for up to 10 minutes. While our dyes are tested for colorfastness, some dyes are notoriously difficult to set and may release a small amount of excess color. Using cold water, gentle wool wash, and a short soak will help prevent color redeposit on light-colored fibers.
- Drain the water.
- Gently lift your knitted item from the water and remove excess moisture by rolling it between clean, dry towels with light pressure.
- Lay flat and shape to air dry.
For projects with contrasting colors, we recommend steam blocking to avoid any color transfer.

Prom is a great pale blue with extra sparkle! I’m saving this to use together with some aurora borealis for maybe the next JFM Rhinebeck sweater!
Using prom as my CC for the Florence sweater, it is to die for! Lovingggg the shimmer !!!
I was delighted with how the cowl turned out and, wow, what AMAZING tea❣️
Thank you for opportunity to share my opinion on your yarns. I am traveling and have not begun any socks with my latest purchase; however have used your wool in past and was excited to visit your factory and see the steps in your operation. I had not made an appointment for my visit and was so impressed that you took time to guide me through your workshop without an appointment---did not expect it. Thank you for producing a wonderful yarn that I have used in the past for my school sock project and will continue to use in future. Proud of your success and pleased I was able to meet you. Believe I had originally purchased your yarn in Comfort, Texas, and Tinsmith's Wife Shop. Thank you for teaching me about the steps from wool to yarn and reminding me how many knitters are also wonderful human-beings and contribute to our country and communities. WIth appreciation and friendship, Jane Woellhof, Texas.

Beautiful color and the sparkle is great.
Bought this for the MC for Florence sweater. Need to finish my “other” Rhinebeck sweater and then will cast this on. Still haven’t decided on the CC yet. Love the subtle “sparkle” of this colorway.
Love the color and the yarn - just too busy right now and haven’t had a chance to do anything with it yet - but am looking forward to knitting with it soon
I haven’t been able to get started on a new project but love the feel and colors of this yarn. This will definitely be a cowl for me!
Love the yarn and the pattern. Also the wonderful tea. Happy knitting, Grace
Beautiful yarn - anxious to knit with it !!!
I bought Prom with the intention of using it for a holiday garment of sorts. Don't know what as yet, thoughts are still in process. As for the yarn, it is beautiful and I am more than pleased with it. Also, your turn around service is amazing!! Thank you, K. Sravish
Beautiful yarn!
Really lovely yarn. Beautiful color.
Gorgeous! Do more of these, please!
When my first order of Prom arrived, I knew I needed more!! It is soft and just the right amount of glittery. Beautiful and fun. A great combination.
Store owner replied: Thanks!
Just the right amount of sparkle in the always beautiful Junction Fiber Mill yarn
Store owner replied: Glad you like it!
Beautiful yarn with a little sparkle! Can’t wait to knit with it!
Nice color, and I like the subtle flash.
My "Prom" skein is a knock out! The sparkle is beautifully balanced, not too much and not too subtle. The quality and character is the yarn itself is perfect, the color is superb and the name is genius. It's going to be a hat for a friend's granddaughter.
Store owner replied: That is so nice of you!
This yarn is beautiful with a sparkle!
