Tasogare by Noro
Noro's newest yarn comes in large, 412 yd balls and 6 lovely colorways.
Tasogare is 60% wool and 20% each mohair and silk. So compared to Silk Garden, this yarn features more merino wool and therefore will have more elasticity/memory than Silk Garden, making it a really great choice for a sweater, hat, or mittens.
The cardigan shown (both Chris and I agree it belongs on a professor smoking a pipe!) feels great - that doesn't help those of you shopping online, but those who come to the shop can get a nice idea from this model of how the yarn feels knit up in a garment
The other sweaters shown in the latest Noro magazine were designed for Tasogare as well. One is knit at 5.5 sts/inch and the other at 4.5.....so obviously the stitch used affects the gauge but you can see from these that the range of appropriate gauges is wide, making this a really versatile yarn!
