Madara by Noro is a richly textured wool blend that combines the warmth of wool with the softness and subtle sheen of silk and alpaca. Heavily twisted with a distinctive tweedy appearance, Madara features semi-solid shades scattered with colorful flecks that add depth and character to every stitch. Its medium-to-bulky weight and luxurious fiber blend make it a beautiful choice for sweaters, cardigans, hats, scarves, cowls, and other cozy accessories. The name Madara means “mottled” in Japanese, perfectly reflecting the yarn's unique speckled appearance.
