Discover the artistry of Noro Tensan, a luminous fusion of 68% silk and 32% wool that embodies elegance and natural beauty. Tensan, the Japanese word for “silkworm,” honors the ancient origins of silk — a fiber treasured for its strength, sheen, and timeless luxury. Blended with fine wool, this yarn brings together warmth, resilience, and a glowing softness that feels indulgent against the skin. Each generous 150-gram skein (328 yards) is dyed in Noro’s unmistakable palette, where deep earth tones merge with radiant bursts of color. From richly textured cardigans and elegant wraps to statement winter accessories and summery tops, every project captures Noro’s signature spirit — a harmony of tradition, texture, and glowing color --- perfect to wear all year round.
I have used the Noro Tensan for a cowl designed by Rosemary Drysdale. I chose this yarn for the cowl as it was featured in Noro Magazine. It is wonderful to work with and makes up into a beautiful fabric. Noro has such lovely yarn with jewel like colors. I am familiar with Noro yarns and knew it would be a good choice. It has more texture so I blocked the cowl to make it softer. Blocking the cowl the gave it the drape I wanted.
I love this yarn! It’s soft and the alternating colors are so vibrant throughout- it knits up so lovely and I can’t wait to finish the beautiful Noro Ayr vest I’m making!
