- 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.
- GuideDonegal tweed yarn: Soft Donegal, Darnie and what tweed meansWhat makes a yarn a Donegal tweed, how Studio Donegal's Soft Donegal and Darnie differ in weight and fiber, the other tweed yarns we stock, what to knit in a tweed and how it behaves, and what to use for a pattern written for Tahki Donegal Tweed.
- GuideYarn brands we stock, and what each is known forThe 24 yarn and needle brands on our shelves, grouped by what they do best — hand-dyed merino, self-striping and gradient yarns, American and British wool, alpaca, luxury fibers, summer cottons and linens, needles — with the line to start with from each.
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.
