Ito means both 'yarn' and 'young' in Japanese. Ito is yarn reborn Noro Ito is a slubby worsted/light aran weight yarn made from 100% wool that comes in BIG 200g balls. One of Noro's most colourful creations, Ito provides an ever changing colour spectrum as you use it. One ball is enough for a scarf, but it is also a fabulous choice for head turning sweaters. We dare you to count the number of colours you can find in each ball of Ito! As with all of Noro's yarns, it is inspired by the natural world around us. We can see autumn leaves, desert plains, and heathery mountains in these colourways. What can you see?

It is quite a firm yarn, and so would probably work for both worsted/aran and heavier DK patterns, but we would always suggest conducting a gauge swatch before you start.
