Discover the artistry of Noro Tensan, a luminous blend of 68% silk and 32% wool that embodies both elegance and natural beauty. Named after the Japanese word for silkworm, Tensan honors silk’s ancient origins as a fiber prized for its strength, sheen, and timeless luxury. When combined with fine wool, it offers warmth, resilience, and a glowing softness that feels indulgent against the skin.
Each 150 g skein (328 yds) is dyed in Noro’s unmistakable palette, where earthy tones merge with radiant bursts of color. The flowing gradients and vibrant contrasts transform every skein into a painterly landscape of fiber, reflecting Noro’s philosophy of drawing inspiration from the natural world.
With a gauge of 16–20 stitches per 4" (10 cm) on US 7–9 (4.5–5.5 mm) needles, Tensan works into fabrics that are light in hand yet enveloping in warmth. From richly textured cardigans and elegant wraps to statement accessories and breezy tops, this versatile yarn brings Noro’s signature harmony of tradition, texture, and glowing color to projects perfect for year-round wear.
