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. Spun with 100% Falkland Islands wool, Malvinas is a beautiful heritage yarn that knits into warm, durable garments & accessories. The worsted weight, single-ply strand has a slight twist & rustic thick & thin character for a relaxed, casual look. Each of the rich colorways has a subtle heather to give stitches depth & dimension. Malvinas is ideal for textured stitches, cables, colorwork & simple stockinette. It truly is a versatile yarn.
