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. Ito is a soft, slubby worsted weight yarn and one of Noro's most colorful creations. The word "Ito" translates to both "yarn" & "young" in Japanese- Ito is yarn reborn! Each 200g ball has an incredible array of colors that are inspired by the nature that surrounds us.
