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.
