Noro Madara is a sophisticated blend of wool, silk, and alpaca with an intriguing tweed texture. This worsted weight yarn has a tightly spun single ply with colorful flecks spun in along its length. Choose Madara for sweaters, cowls, and wraps and enjoy the luxurious feel and cozy warmth it brings to your finished projects.
Madara is heavily twisted, it has a soft, luxurious hand thanks to the addition of silk and alpaca to a wool base. It is available in semi-solids featuring nubby flecks which provide interesting pops of contrasting colour throughout this yarn (thus living up to its name - Madara means mottled in Japanese)
