Noro Silk Garden – the yarn that launched a thousand projects (and counting)
Celebrating over 30 years of fiber fame, Noro Silk Garden has earned its cult following—and it’s easy to see why. This iconic DK-weight yarn blends 40% wool, 25% silk, 25% nylon, and 10% mohair into a one-of-a-kind fiber experience that feels both rustic and luxurious. Every skein is a mini art exhibit, bursting with vibrant color transitions that only Noro can dream up.
Noro’s founder, Eisaku Noro, imagined “a yarn that bloomed out of a garden of silk and mohair,” and Silk Garden delivers on that vision—earthy texture, luminous sheen, and organic color shifts that make each stitch a surprise.
Rooted in Japanese philosophy, Noro yarns celebrate the beauty of imperfection and the wild creativity of nature. Every fiber comes from certified organic farms across the globe and is processed with care—much of it still by hand or on traditional machinery—to preserve its natural character.
Whether you’re crafting a cozy sweater, statement scarf, or timeless hat, Silk Garden brings depth, artistry, and a touch of magic to your project.
