Noro Yarns: Hand Dyed & Hand Spun
Noro Hand Knitting Yarns are produced using a process unlike no other in the world. No other yarn company or mill goes to the lengths that Noro does to achieve the depth of colour and texture found in their yarns. Many yarn mills around the world have tried to duplicate Noro Yarns but have failed. The self-striping yarns we see today are a result of trying to copy the Noro process, which relies heavily on hand dyeing and spinning where possible, which is economically impossible for large mills. This is the only way the marvellous colourways and textures can be achieved.
Pure white raw wools are hand dyed in various colors, which are then blended together for the first step of making yarn.
Several tones of colored raw wool fibers are manually aligned one by one to make a singles yarn.
The raw wool is then fed into the carding machine to straighten the fibers and remove impurities, forming a thin web of aligned fibers. The web is next divided and rolled to create rope-like slivers. The slivers are drafted, twisted, and then wound onto bobbins.
The produced yarn is ready to be transformed into products.
For more information on this facinating yarn line and their unique processes please use this link to the Noro Website.
