What's on our Needles? Noro Miyabi. Why? Miyabi is Japanese for elegant, with a wool and cashmere blend and a slightly roving texture, meaning a loose weave to the fiber that comes out with a slightly felted effect. The colorways are rich and subtly shaded in classic Noro fashion.
NOTE
: color variations are a normal design feature of this and most Noro yarns. What you receive may look different on the outside or be a different dye lot than one of the photos, but all colors in the swatch photo will be in the skein.  We will not accept returns based on those color variations, unless you receive a color way # other than the above.
According to the artist, Eisaku Noro:
"If I make wool yarn, I use various lengths and thicknesses of wool fibers to try to reproduce the nature of sheep itself in our yarn: such as unevenness and coarseness. These natural states are intentionally left by using human hands and old machinery so that natural fibers are not over processed. All of this is so knitters can feel nature more closely when knitting with Noro yarns.
"Impurities in the raw materials are carefully removed by hand without the use of chemical treatment which is not good for the fibers or the environment. We also aim to reproduce the colors of nature in our yarns: leaves for example, all look green, but in reality they come in countless variations of green. By mixing colors we can give our yarns more natural feeling colors reminiscent of oceans, mountains, flowers, trees and so on."
