This beautiful yarn has a passionate cult following including me and deservedly so. At last count, it has been used in more than 50,000 projects on Ravelry and is available in dozens of fabulous colorways! “I imagined a yarn that bloomed out of a garden of silk and silk/mohair fabric,” says Mr. Eisaku Noro, its creator. We couldn’t agree more. Noro yarn -Silk Garden is perfect for a multitude of projects including blankets, beanies, scarves, shawls, jumpers and cardigans. I have recently used Silk Garden to complete the Shiftalong Beanie as the contrast colour with a skein of Bambini 4 ply in Fushcia for the main colour. The photo is one of my lovely daughters modelling it!
