Description
Noro – Silk Garden Solo – Abiko #60 is loosely plied, using the same silk/mohair base as both Silk Garden and Silk Garden Lite. Silk Garden Solo is a super-saturated tonal, monochromatic single-ply that complements any of the beautiful Silk Garden colorways.
From careful selection of raw materials from around the world to the traditional spinning process, all Noro yarns are made with extraordinary care and focus on hand-made quality. The result is a wonderful multi-coloured range that will make every project a personal work of art. Perfect for all clothing, gloves, mittens and beanies and we especially love making blankets with Noro.

Crafty Yarn Council is a great website full of useful information including all the standard symbols for crochet and knitting and all the information on what all those symbols on your yarn tags mean, hook and needle conversion charts and more! They also have all the information on Yarn weights including WPI which is very useful if you lost your tag! The other useful website is Yarnsub – great advice on what you can substitute your yarn for in a pattern. Both websites are worth having in your favourites
