Northampton, Massachusetts, adopted the nickname of Paradise City after Jenny Lind, the famous 19th century singer and actor, referred to the city as “The Paradise of America.” The Paradise City Blanket, knit in Valley Yarns Northampton, celebrates the city’s diverse community and vibrant arts and culture scene. WEBS - America’s Yarn Store is proud to call Northampton home.

Valley Yarns Paradise City is a stunning blanket made up of individual squares that measures 9¼” wide and 11” high and knit in five colors of Northampton. The blanket celebrates the city’s diverse community and vibrant arts and culture scene, making WEBS proud to call Northampton home. Valley Yarns Northampton is a workhorse yarn that you’ll come back to time and time again. We sourced a soft Peruvian wool and dyed it in a beautiful collection of solid colors and heathered shades.
