Haunui is a very special yarn that comes from Taranui, a small, family-owned farm located in the foothills of South Island, New Zealand. This 22-24 micron yarn is spun from the fleece of the family's flock of Haunui sheep. This special breed is part New Zealand Halfbred & part Romney. The palette of natural colors is ideal for warm sweaters, cardigans & accessories. Soft, yet durable, garments knit from Haunui will wear exceptionally well. 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.
