Tsubame: Named for the barn swallow that migrates to Japan during cherry blossom season, this is a classic worsted-weight silk/wool blend. Each oversized 200g skein contains 656 yards making it ideal for an endless variety of one-skein projects!
One of NORO's most colorful creations, Tsubame provides an ever-changing color spectrum as you knit. One ball is enough for a scarf, but it is also a fabulous choice for head-turning sweaters. We dare you to count the number of colors you can find in each ball!
