Tasogare | Noro

Named after the Japanese term for ‘twilight’, Tasogare is made up of Noro's signature blend which combines the warmth of wool and the durability of mohair, with the soft strength of silk. Inspired by the time of day when the light grows dim and colours fade, this yarn is spun with undyed dark brown wool to give each colourway a deep and muted feel. Tasogare comes in generous-sized eggs which allows for long colour changes and less ends to weave in!

From the brand: "All animal fibers used to create Noro yarns come from certified organic farms, including producers in Australia, the Falkland Islands and South Africa—the best the world has to offer. Noro himself personally maintains the integrity of the production process, visiting farms, checking the type of equipment used to spin the fiber, and monitoring the dyeing process as well."

These big dragon eggs from Noro are ideal for garments because you'll get nice long colour changes, and less ends to attach or weave in. That being said, they're also wonderful for accessories, especially scarves and shawls!
