Noro Madara

Noro Madara is a luxurious, tweedy worsted-weight yarn that introduces vibrant Japanese artistry to your knitting and crochet projects. Made from 60% wool, 30% silk, and 10% alpaca, Madara offers a soft, warm, and lustrous yarn with a thick-and-thin texture and playful nubby flecks. Madara means "mottled" or "speckled" in Japanese.

Madara shines in projects that benefit from its great drape and colour play. Ideal for sweaters, cardigans, scarves, shawls, and accessories, its semi-solid colourways with flecked accents create sophisticated, modern garments that add richness and character. Available in shades inspired by Japanese culture, from Sake and Sakura to Matcha, Bonsai, and Torii, each skein tells its story in vibrant, mottled hues. It’s a special yarn we know you’ll love.
