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. Haruito is a soft, summery blend of silk & cotton with a touch of nylon. Lightweight with the perfect drape, the yarn is cool & breathable. The single-ply, light worsted weight shows off the signature color transitions of Noro beautifully. Casual & relaxed, the yarn has an appealing matte texture with a pleasing lived-in feel. The yarn is ideal for tees, tops, cardigans, tanks & wraps.
