Noro yarns are always inspiring, and our latest arrival, Madara, is no exception. From the Japanese word for “uneven,” Madara is a luxurious tweed-inspired blend of wool, silk, and alpaca. The double-dying process Noro uses lets the multi-colored base peek through, creating a richly vibrant color palette. If you love the look of tweedy woolen yarns but aren’t a fan of working with them, this yarn is a definite softer option.
