The Pink Moon is the name for the full moon that occurs in April. Despite its name, the moon doesn’t actually appear pink. The name comes from moss phlox (Phlox subulata), a type of pink wildflower that blooms in North America during early spring. The yarn and pattern for the socks were created for Yarn Twisters Sock Club April 2025.
