Noro Tensan - wool blend

Discover the artistry of Noro Tensan, a luminous blend of 68% silk and 32% wool that embodies elegance and natural beauty. Tensan, the Japanese word for "silkworm," pays homage to silk's ancient origins, a fiber prized for its strength, sheen, and timeless luxury. Blended with fine wool, this yarn marries warmth, resilience, and a luminous softness that feels gentle against the skin. Each generous 150-gram (328-yard) skein is dyed in Noro's unmistakable palette, where deep earth tones blend with radiant bursts of color. The flowing hues and vibrant contrasts reflect Noro's philosophy of drawing inspiration from the natural world, transforming each skein into a painterly landscape of fibers. With a gauge of 16-20 stitches per 4 inches (10 cm) on 4.5-5.5 mm needles, Tensan creates fabrics that are light to the touch yet enveloping and warm. From richly textured cardigans and elegant shawls to stylish winter accessories and summer tops, every project captures Noro's distinctive spirit: a harmony of tradition, texture, and vivid color, perfect for year-round wear.
