Silk Garden yarn celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2016. This beautiful yarn has a passionate cult following and deservedly so. At last count, it has been used in nearly 50,000 projects on Ravelry and is available in dozens of fabulous colorways!  "I imagined a yarn that bloomed out of a garden of silk and silk/mohair fabric," says Mr. Eisaku Noro, its creator. We couldn't agree more.
About Noro Yarns:
Eisaku Noro is an iconic Japanese Fiber Artist. For many years he has taken his aesthetic from the "Colors of Nature". Earth, Ocean, Sky have the hues that mark his colorful creations. He takes seemingly unrelated colors like a pink into green and then a shock of charcoal that one would find strange to combine. Yet it works. The vision is to take the eye from the bottom of the ocean to the tip of a mountain into the sky. So, the emergence of ocean colors of blue and purple with the majestic charcoal to cloudy skies have a certain vibe that works. His fibers were ecologically friendly decades before it was in vogue. Noro's color palate is consistent amongst all his fibers. Some of his most popular lines are created from the natural palates and are blended into merino-silk-cashmere and mohair textures that are elegantly self-striping. The knitter can either control the striping by alternating balls of yarn or work free-form out of one ball and allowing the colors to appear randomly creating "pools" of colors that blend into unexpected surprises. Mrs Knits like to pool the colors because the joy of "surprise" keeps her knitting just one more row to see the pink pop into a charcoal and the hand of thick vs thin textures that float across her needles with glee.
