Noro Madara is a stunning medium to bulky weight yarn, perfect for those who appreciate a blend of luxury and texture in their knitting projects. This yarn knits up beautifully at a gauge of 15-17 stitches per four inches on US 7-8 (4.5-5.0mm) needles, making it ideal for a variety of projects from cozy sweaters to statement accessories.
What sets Madara apart is its unique composition and texture. The yarn is heavily twisted, creating a robust structure that still maintains a soft and luxurious feel. This is achieved by blending silk and alpaca with a wool base, offering warmth, softness, and just the right amount of drape.
Available in semi-solid colors, Madara also features nubby flecks that add intriguing pops of contrasting color throughout the yarn. These flecks contribute to its mottled appearance, perfectly aligning with the name "Madara," which means mottled in Japanese. Whether you’re creating a simple scarf or an intricate garment, the visual interest provided by these flecks ensures your finished project will be anything but ordinary.
Madara is a versatile and elegant choice for knitters looking to elevate their work with a yarn that combines traditional craftsmanship with contemporary flair.
