NORO Sonata Shima Yarn

NORO Sonata Shima Yarn

A blend of cotton, viscose, silk and polyamide makes for a soft and lightweight yarn suitable for all season next-to-the-skin projects.

This single-ply, sport weight yarn comes is a vibrant array of self-stripping color gradient options.

Noro yarns are known for their vivid hues and unique combinations of colors found in the natural world (think of the red leaves of maples or the cerulean blue of the sky). Noro’s reliance on natural fibers is another link to the natural world. Chock full of wool, silk, mohair and other fibers drawn from animals and plants, Noro yarns have a visceral connection to the natural world. All animal fibers used to create Noro yarns come from certified organic farms, including producers in Australia, the Falkland Islands and South Africa—the best the world has to offer. One of the most prominent qualities of Noro yarn is its handspun, loosely processed quality. This, too, is an essential part of Eisaku Noro’s vision of creating yarns that remain true to their natural heritage.
