Noro Tensan

Noro Tensan – Silk & Wool Worsted Yarn

Noro Tensan is a truly special yarn, blending the luminous beauty of silk with the gentle warmth and resilience of wool. Named after the Japanese word for silkworm, Tensan celebrates the ancient origins of silk — a fibre prized for centuries for its strength, natural sheen and quiet luxury.

Spun from wild silk native to Japan and paired with fine wool, Tensan has a softly glowing surface and a beautiful drape that feels indulgent against the skin. Despite its elegant appearance, this is a practical, hard-working yarn, making it a wonderful choice for garments and accessories where you want warmth without heaviness.

Please note: Due to the nature of the fibres and dyeing process, colours may vary slightly between balls. Screen settings can also affect how colours appear, so shades may differ from what you see on your device.
