Knitting makes me happy especially when Noro yarns are in my fingers

I must love Kureyon; through the years, I’ve knitted and crocheted over 30 items of clothing. Check out Noro books There’s even one just using Kureyon, plus their instructions are excellent.

Good company - poor quality product

I knit to gauge, so I know this wasn't due to excessive tension. Finally, the color transitions were supposed to be smooth, blending from one color to...

Speedy and efficient

This yarn nearly always has a join in it where the colours are not matched, can be rather annoying. Otherwise I love the colour range and use it to knit hats which I lightly felt.
