50% Cotton, 30% Viscose, 20% Silk Country of origin: Japan Suggested US 7 to 9 Knits to 16-20 stitches over 4in Noro has done it again with Uchiwa, a new yarn for Spring/Summer '22.
Uchiwa is the Japanese word for "unfolding fan" however the naming of the new yarn is based less on the appearance of the fans
and more on their cooling effect. The luxurious blend of cotton,
viscose and silk ensure a cooling effect upon the skin,
as does a fanned breeze from the leaf fan of the same name. Uchiwa knits up at a user-friendly gauge of 16-20
stitches per 4 inches on US 7-9 (4.5-5.5mm) needles.
It is currently available in eight glorious blended multicolors,
each one prettier than the next. You'll have a difficult time
choosing a favorite. Each giant 200g dragon ball contains
547 yards!
