Description
Noro Silk Garden Lite is a luxury 45% silk, 45% kid mohair, 10% lambswool double knit/8 ply weight yarn.
It is beautifully hued and a pleasure to knit or crochet, resulting in wonderful effects through the gentle colour transitions and long colour runs. The silk content gives it wonderful sheen and drape.
Working with two different colourways in stripes gives great impact as the colour changes play out and means your knitting/crochet experience is constantly changing!
50g/125m ball
3.75–4.5 mm needles
22 sts/10cm
Knits as 8 ply.
We are showing two balls as each skein is slightly different. This shows the typical variation.
We have photographed these in natural light to best represent the colours. These may appear slightly differently on your monitor.
About Noro
I was born and grew up in a place where more great unspoiled nature is left than anywhere else in Japan, so the world of nature is always close. Whether I am aware of it or not, I am inspired by it in many ways
Eisaku Noro
“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). These colors also tap into the multiplicity of shades found around us. Leaves may appear one shade of green from afar, says Mr. Noro, but in reality they come in countless variations of green. By mixing colors, we can give a more natural feel reminiscent of oceans, mountains, flowers, trees and so on. Noro’s insistence on maintaining the integrity of the dyeing process—taking sufficient time to apply color is crucial—creates these rich, complex hues while reducing ecological impact.
