We’ve just got a huge shipment of Noro’s new huge yarn, Bachi. This single ply features Noro’s signature amazing color gradients and multis perfect for blankets, scarfs, and colorful hats and mitts. Like Ito, which we also have on hand in our worsted/aran collection), Bachi sports an impressive put up, so more stitching per hefty 200g mega-cake.
