From the guides
- GuideNoro: which one is which?Kureyon, Silk Garden, Ito, Haunui, Madara, Tsubame, Kakigori — how Noro's yarns differ in fiber, weight, put-up and the way the color moves, which Noro is DK and which is worsted, and what to knit in each.
- GuideSingle-ply vs plied yarnWhat ply means as a construction, how a single-ply yarn knits, wears, pills and felts compared with a plied one, which projects suit each, and the singles and plied yarns in stock at the same weight.
- GuideSelf-striping yarn explainedThe three kinds of self-striping yarn — short repeating stripes, long gradients and Noro's color runs — why the stripes come out a different width in a sock, a shawl and a blanket, how the stripes behave in a sweater and how to make the sleeves match the body, how to match two socks, and the striping yarns we stock.
More from Noro
Noro yarn is spun in Japan under Eisaku Noro's eye, and it is unlike anything else on the shelf: long, slow colour changes fed into the spinner by hand, so a single ball knits its own stripes and no two balls read quite the same. Kureyon, the 100% wool original, and Silk Garden, its silk-mohair-lambswool sibling, are our two best-selling lines of any brand.
The newer lines stretch the idea: Ito is a 200 g wool cake with colour runs long enough for a whole sweater panel, Madara blends wool with silk and alpaca, Tsubame is a silk-wool DK, and Kakigori a cotton-silk for summer. The Haunui family — wool, wool-silk and wool-cotton — comes in large put-ups for blankets. Noro is thick-and-thin by design; knit a swatch and let the colour do the work.
