Each skein has a unique look due to varying color alignment in its multi-ply construction.

Tasogare is an Aran/Medium weight featuring Noro's signature blend of coriedale/merino, silk, and mohair - such as popular yarns like Silk Garden. However, the meaning of Tasogare reveals the inspiration - Japanese for "twilight", that time when colors grow dim as light fades - this yarn features undyed dark brown wool which interplays with the dyed fibers in typical Noro multi colors - giving each color a more muted & deep feeling such as one feels at the end of the day when the brightness of the sun fades. Each dragon egg ball contains over 400 yards of yarn, enough for a small shawl or accessory.

Haunui Cotton is a unique combination of Noro's Haunui undyed wool (fusion of New Zealand Halfbred and Fine Romney stock) blended with dyed Australia Cotton, where each color plays with a different shade of Haunui - from beige to chocolate brown put up in a dragon egg ball. Soft & plush, this yarn is a pleasure to wear and to knit, as over 400 yards unfolds across your needles to create a shawl or accessory and the colors play with each other. Another fun, unique use of natural fibers by Noro.

Tulla Tweed is a modern blend of fibres featuring merino wool & recycled cotton which self stripes when knits, and also features a tasteful tweed fleck! It is a chainette construction (the base yarn of Tulla Tweed is very fine - to create a thicker yarn this fine base is braided like an I-cord to create a casing with a hollow centre) - which creates garments that are light weight, less likely to pill, and exceedingly warm as heat is trapped inside the hollow core. When designing with a Tulla Tweed, Louisa has applied the rule of working with chainette yarns using a larger size needle than you would for a traditionally-plied yarn to create the same gauge – this gives the yarn room to stretch. If you use the same needle size as a traditionally-plied yarn the resulting fabric would be too dense. When substituting Tulla Tweed in another pattern it’s very important to swatch, especially if using it for a pattern that uses a more traditionally constructed worsted spun yarn.

This 100% fine wool comes from lovingly raised ‘Gentile di Puglia’ sheep, a breed derived from cross-breeding local ewes with Merino rams first brought from Spain in the fifteenth century. After the Unification of Italy in the nineteenth century, they were cross-bred with French Rambouillet and German Merinolandschaf sheep. The result was high-quality fine wool with a fiber diameter of 18–22 microns. It has a slightly elastic and dry touch that creates zero pilling, making it ideal for all stitch work. It is also particularly suited to Fair-Isle stranded stitch-work and Nordic-style colorful pullover sweaters and cardigans.
