NORO - Noro Yukata

Every once in a while a yarn comes along that stops you dead in your tracks. New for Summer, Noro Yukata is exactly that yarn! The colors are bright and cheerful.

It's a striking silk/wool blend with lush and long colour repeats. One ball is a generous 720 meters and 200 grams, meaning this yarn will go far in your projects!

From the latest issue of Noro Magazine there are three fresh new designs using Yukata:

• Augustina, (pictured here) by Melissa Dehnke McGill, is FREE with purchase of Yukata. This easy-to-crochet rectangular shawl, can also double as a luxurious throw or afghan.
• Wynnie, by Jennie Chin, is a granny square showstopper! It uses the join-as-you-go method of attaching squares, making seaming unnecessary. Huzzah!
