Noro Taiyo is a self-striping worsted weight yarn in the beloved Noro multi-colors. Taiyo is a soft blend of cotton, silk, wool and polyamide with generous yardage making it a great choice for colorful scarves, shawls and wraps. The Taiyo line is designed with the same color story of Noro's collection but has a cotton base.
With a name that means "thick sun," Taiyo has a wonderful next-to-the-skin softness and sheen. A delightful fiber mix of cotton, silk, wool, and nylon, it is comprised of two soft spun, thick-to-thin, multicolored strands. This perennial NORO classic makes great scarves, wraps, sweaters, or luxurious home decorating projects.

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.
