Classic Noro -- Kureyon has been Noro's best-selling yarn for more than 30 years!
A rustic, loosely-plied, 100% wool yarn beloved the world over for its rich colors, self-striping nature, and handspun texture. Each ball is unique, so no two projects are ever exactly alike. Kureyon is ideal for outerwear garments, such as hats, cardigans, and mittens, as well as for felting (fulling) projects, such as totes, pillow covers, and other home goods.
YARN DETAILS Noro Kureyon (1.75oz/50g [108yd/100m]), 100% wool, worsted/bulky weight yarn (Z plied) -- 14-16 sts = 4" [10cm] on US 7-8 [4.5-5mm] | 9.5-12.5 SC = 4" [10cm] on US hook 7-H8 [4.5-5mm]
FIBER DETAILS 100% wool sourced from certified organic farms (in Australia, the Falkland Islands, and South Africa), then dyed and spun in Japan
CARE INSTRUCTIONS Hand wash, cold; dry flat. Felts beautifully!
SHOPKEEPER’S NOTES Due to the handcrafted nature of this yarn, knots may occasionally be found, and color joins may vary. What I love most about Noro yarns is the "intention" that goes into their creation. It's all about a visceral connection to nature... from the sheep (that produce the fiber) to the vivid hues (which mimic the infinite and varied colors found in nature) to the handspun, loosely processed quality of the finished product. As a maker, I experience joy and a sense of wonder as I work with these yarns, which is soothing to my soul.
Kureyon is now available in tonal solids -- called Malvinas -- that complement Kureyon's colors beautifully for added color variety!
Noro Magazine publishes quarterly and is full of inspiration and patterns, many of which feature Kureyon.
