The World of Noro

Waiting for Winter Mittens by Susan B. Anderson
Noro Kureyon, two contrasting colorways

Discover the colorful world of Noro yarns with these fun, color-changing mittens by Susan B. Anderson. The colorful stripe design is created by alternating two contrasting colors of Noro Kureyon. You may also use just one color for a gradient effect.

The pattern includes an option for knit mittens, as well as fingerless mitts. Both of the accessories are knit bottom-up, in the round & include easy to follow instructions.

Noro yarns embrace the Japanese philosophy of accepting & enjoying the non-uniformity, unevenness, & natural beauty of nature. All animal fibers spun into Noro yarns come from certified organic farms around the world. The yarns are as eco-friendly as possible with many processes still done by hand or on traditional machinery.

Kureyon is a worsted, single-ply yarn spun with 100% wool. The inspiring color shifting palette is wonderful for unique accessories, garments & home decor.
