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. Natsumeki is a captivating blend of cotton & silk with a touch of nylon. Translated to "summer is in the air," the single ply, DK weight yarn is soft & lightweight. Cool & breathable, the yarn is lovely for breezy tops, floaty scarves & unique wraps. We love the curated collection of summery, signature Noro hues. The generous 524 yard ball is convenient with fewer ends to weave in, as well as glorious, uninterrupted knitting.
