Noro Tsubame

About

Here is Noro yarn at its traditional best! This 10 ply/Aran weight yarn is a silk/wool/polyamide blend, offering the exquisite colour changes that Noro is well known and loved for. Named after the barn swallow that migrates to Japan during cherry blossom season, each ball of Tsubame reflects the beauty of nature, in both colour and texture. The high silk content of this yarn gives a softness and exquisite drape to completed garments, while the addition of wool adds a welcome warmth, as well as textural interest. This is the perfect yarn choice for that special knitted or crocheted garment, scarf, wrap or accessory. Each ball of this 10 ply/Aran weight yarn is a generously sized 200g/600m, allowing you to complete a garment with as little as two balls.The hand-dyed nature of this yarn gives each ball a subtle uniqueness, with slight variations occurring between balls and dye-lots. Please ensure you purchase enough yarn to complete your project. 10 ply/Aran weight 50% Silk/25% Wool/25% Polyamide 200g/600m ball Knitting Needles: 4.5mm-5.5mm Crochet Hook: 4.5mm-5.5mm Gauge: 16-20 stitches on 4.5mm-5.5mm needles per 10cm Gentle tepid hand wash, no bleach, low heat iron, dry flat in shade, no tumble dry, dry cleanable Made in Japan
