The Flower Moon is the full moon that graces the sky each May, a time when the Earth is bursting with blossoms and new life. The name comes from old traditions, especially among Native American tribes and early European settlers, who named each full moon to match the seasons. The Flower Moon celebrates growth, beauty, and abundance — a reminder of how life blooms after the quiet of winter. The yarn and pattern for the socks were created for Yarn Twisters Sock Club May 2025.
