Noro, Tsubame: 39 Shibata
Noro is known for artistic color combos, and one-of-a-kind balls of yarn where each one is different, even within the same colorway. If you want to create an heirloom quality project that stands the test of time, you can't go wrong with Noro of Japan.
With Noro Tsubame, you get a huge 200 gram ball that the studio lovingly calls "dragon eggs." Named for the barn swallow that migrates to Japan during cherry blossom season, this classic worsted weight silk/wool blend is perfect for a color-changing scarf, but it's also a fabulous choice for head-turning sweaters.
