Mrs. Knits is super excited to introduce Noro Sonata, a unique light weight cotton fiber with some viscose for depth and sheen.
An exercise in refined saturated color, Sonata is available in a rich palette of semi-solids. A delicious cotton blend for next-to-the-skin projects. Unique in that most light weight yarns are either wool or silk based fibers - Sonata is cotton based. The difference is that it is less slippery than some silks but has lighter weight fibers than many wool lace yarns. Cotton also is wonderful for hand dyes.
What's on our Needles?
Light weight cotton-silk yarn with viscose. This is a new offering for Spring 2021 because we love the texture of a cotton light weight yarn being just a bit different than more traditional pure wool or silk lace. Think breezy summer shells or shawls that have the stitch body and definition but are cooler for warm weather wear.
ABOUT THE NORO BRAND:
Eisaku 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.
