Asaginu, a truly artisanal yarn from Noro that is created from flax and Japanese washi! This new yarn is the epitome of cool for summer – lightweight and breathable with incredible texture.
Asaginu is 69% French linen, 30% Japanese Washi paper and 1% nylon to bind the two. Linen is known for its drape and durability, and does not cling to skin. Much stronger than regular paper, washi is created using a traditional Japanese process that’s recognized by UNESCO for its cultural heritage. Because washi and linen have similar cooling qualities, this yarn is ideal for hot weather. The two fibres take dye differently, so each shade is softly heathered with tonal colour.
