Noro sock yarn

Noro Silk Garden, Noro Silk Garden Lite and Noro Kureyon sock knitting yarns are handcrafted in Japan in blends of rich colour drawn from nature and made using traditional techniques, which make for a different sock knitting experience. They are single ply with a unique homespun texture and a rougher handle before washing, and should be hand washed in cold water. The luxurious Silk Garden Sock Yarn (100g, 300mtrs) is a delicious blend of 40% lambs wool, 25% silk, 25% nylon and 10% kid mohair. Noro Kureyon sock yarn (100g, 420mtrs) is 70% wool and 30% nylon. Noro Silk Garden Lite blends 45% silk and 45% kid mohair with 10% lambs' wool. 1 ball of Noro Kureyon sock yarn is sufficient for a pair of adult socks. I ball of Noro Silk Garden or 2 balls of Noro Silk Garden Lite sock yarn will be enough for a pair of shorter cuff adult socks. 2.25mm - 2.5mm needles.
