Silk Garden celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2021. This beautiful yarn has a passionate cult following and deservedly so. At last count, it has been used in nearly 50,000 projects on Ravelry and is available in dozens of fabulous colorways! "I imagined a yarn that bloomed out of a garden of silk and silk/mohair fabric," says Mr. Eisaku Noro, its creator.
Noro yarns embrace the Japanese philosophy of accepting & enjoying the non-uniformity, unevenness, & natural beauty of nature. All animal fibers spun into Noro yarns come from certified organic farms around the world. The yarns are as eco-friendly as possible with many processes still done by hand or on traditional machinery.
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.
