    The yarn is somewhat inconsistent...from very thin to kinda worsted...but that's what to expect with Noro.

    Comments about Noro Taiyo Sock:

    I made a short sleeve sweater and 2 scarves from Taiyo sock. It feels stiff as you begin to knit/crochet with it, but really softens up as you work with it. The colors are great, as is almost all Noro, and living in Florida, I really like the high cotton content in this yarn! The only problem I have is that it tends tangle and twist on itself. I've tried pulling from the middle of the skein, working from the outside of the skein, and rewinding it, and it it still twists!

    Comments about Noro Taiyo Sock:

    I am on my third project using the taiyo sock yarn and I am pleased with the yarn's performance. The texture of the FO is soft and it drapes really well. As with all Noro yarns, it has imperfections, but I love the quirkiness. The colors are amazing and it knits up fairly quickly as you watch the colors change. I would recommend adding reinforcing thread at heels if you are doing socks that will get a lot of use

    Comments about Noro Taiyo Sock:

    It's so much fun to knit with Noro yarns. They change color subtly and beautifully and the yardage is very good. I pull from the middle, making the knitting an extra adventure as i wait to see what hue will emerge. Also it's a good way to control twisting. Noro has a pattern for an origami bag that their yarn really makes look great. You don't need fancy stitches...garter stitch is fine because the yarn is so interesting. I do a lace stitch for scarves: rows 1-3 k, row 4: k2, k2tog, yo, and keep repeating to end. I use 46 stitches and that way you have a k2 at each end.

      Comments about Noro Taiyo Sock:

      overall, i love noro yarns - mostly for the color ways. they are beautiful and blend so nicely. however, i am not happy with this sock yarn, as i ran into slubs and knots. the slubs can be lived with and surprisingly look kind of cute but i find knots unacceptable. i expected more from this yarn. i have made socks out of cheaper yarns and didn't experience any knots, so i was expecting at least the same from this more expensive, higher end yarn.

      Comments about Noro Taiyo Sock:

      Taiyo Sock is just all around great! The colors are Noro through and through. I used the 04 colorway for a shawl, and I get compliments each time I use it. The only downfall is that it seems to have an extra twist to it. To combat this, I just rewound the skein from the inside out on a yarn ball winder. Taiyo knit up smoothly after that. Keep in mind that it has its thick and thin moments, like most sock yarns, but is mostly even.

      Comments about Noro Taiyo Sock:

      This yarn makes the softest, most comfortable socks I have ever worn. The individual stitches on the bottom of the foot cannot be detected; the fiber is so soft! This yarn has little stretch so I used a pattern with some stretch created by the stitches. The fit is perfect! I used Janel Laidman's 'Rivendell' pattern. I knit on size 0 needles (2.00mm). I made the heel turn a bit narrower but otherwise made no changes. I have a very high instep and this yarn was stretchy and soft and oh so comfortable. Taiyo is a single and twists up a bit when knitting. This can be managed and will not prevent me from buying another ball. Taiyo does not sag or stretch out. Taiyo sock is my new favorite.
