noro

The name Haruito [はるいと] is word composed of two parts : Haru is the Japanese term for spring & Ito for thread or "yarn for spring". Spring brings to mind the time of year when everything starts to bloom and colorful flowers delight our eyes. Due to the smooth, silky structure, the yarn is wonderful to wear directly on the skin (containing no wool, only silk, cotton, and nylon). It is ideal for sweaters, summer jackets, summer scarves and stoles that you can wrap yourself in when it gets cooler in the evenings. It is also a perfect choice for a soft baby blanket.

Haunui Cotton is a unique combination of Noro's Haunui undyed wool (fusion of New Zealand Halfbred and Fine Romney stock) blended with dyed Australia Cotton, where each color plays with a different shade of Haunui - from beige to chocolate brown put up in a dragon egg ball. Soft & plush, this yarn is a pleasure to wear and to knit, as over 400 yards unfolds across your needles to create a shawl or accessory and the colors play with each other. Another fun, unique use of natural fibers by Noro.

Ito is a slubby, worsted weight, 100% wool that comes in BIG 200 gram / 437 yard balls. One of NORO's most colorful creations, Ito provides an ever-changing color spectrum as you knit. One ball is enough for a scarf, but it is also a fabulous choice for head-turning sweaters. We dare you to count the number of colors you can find in each ball of Ito!

The fiber in each yarn in hand selected and inspected from the most reliable and ethical suppliers. Fibers are never treated with acids or harmful chemicals. They are gently spun to preserve original qualities and character.

Workhorse yarn with special emphasis on colorwork projects, (slip stitch mosaic, fair isle, striping) due to vibrant semi-solid colors designed to be the same gauge as other popular worsted weight Noro yarns such as Kureyon, Ito, Viola, & Silk Garden. Many of the colors were selected from popular Noro multi colors so that they will coordinate perfectly! Combine your favorite color of one of these popular yarns with Malvinas, to make very interesting pieces -- the possibilities are literally endless!

The Noro Rikka is a voluminous yarn and a typical Noro blend of Merino wool & Corriedale, combined with the softest Peruvian alpaca, and undyed mulberry silk. The yarn and the finished knitted fabric appear to be covered with a touch of white. It seems as if you are looking at a landscape that has been surprised by a frosty night or a sudden snowfall. (which is the meaning of Rikka in Japanese "snow crystal")

Tasogare is an Aran/Medium weight featuring Noro's signature blend of coriedale/merino, silk, and mohair - such as popular yarns like Silk Garden. However, the meaning of Tasogare reveals the inspiration - Japanese for "twilight", that time when colors grow dim as light fades - this yarn features undyed dark brown wool which interplays with the dyed fibers in typical Noro multi colors - giving each color a more muted & deep feeling such as one feels at the end of the day when the brightness of the sun fades. Each dragon egg ball contains over 400 yards of yarn, enough for a small shawl or accessory.
