Noro - Tensan Yarn
Tensan, the Japanese word for “silkworm,” honors the ancient origins of silk — a fiber treasured for its strength, sheen, and timeless luxury. Blended with fine wool, this yarn brings together warmth, resilience, and a glowing softness that feels indulgent against the skin. Each generous 150-gram skein (328 yards) is dyed in Noro’s unmistakable palette, where deep earth tones merge with radiant bursts of color. The flowing gradients and vibrant contrasts reflect Noro’s philosophy of drawing inspiration from the natural world, transforming every skein into a gorgeous landscape of fiber.
