Noro yarns embrace the Japanese philosophy of accepting & enjoying the non-uniformity, unevenness, & natural beauty of nature. All animal fibers spun into Noro yarns come from certified organic farms around the world. The yarns are as eco-friendly as possible with many processes still done by hand or on traditional machinery. Inspired by the effect of mist between glowing clouds, Saiun is a warm & durable blend of wool & nylon. Each ball possesses a unique array of saturated hues for stunning cardigans, sweaters & accessories. The thick & thin character of this yarn gives it the versatility to be knit to a heavy DK/ light worsted gauge. An incredible 492 yards in each ball means fewer ends to weave in & more continuous knitting! The yarn is dyed in the Japan studio using the special method that gives Noro yarns their special color-changing, gradient & variegated hues.
