About the Yarn:
Named for the colorful Barn Swallow, this yarn is sure to take you on a flight of fancy. It's featured in our Entrelac Scarf Knit-Along, click here for the kit.
Here's why we LOVE this yarn:
1. The colors! Tsubame features long, beautiful color repeats that Noro is known for. It forms stripes on its own and occasionally throws a wildcard color in for added fun, just like nature.
2. The feel. This is a great alternative to more wool-heavy yarns. Although often thought of as a spring/summer yarn, we think it's great year-round for accessories like scarves and hats.
3. The whopping skein size! Each barrel contains 656 yards. Mix 2 colors and you'll have enough to make a striking, one-of-a-kind project.

Tsubame yarn is a beautiful self-striping yarn that has a wonderful texture. The serape that I am crocheting has a wonderful feel and drape to it and will endure a lifetime.

Noro is known for its incredible, sometimes over the top, color combinations! I selected color #8 for its more subdued feature. Tsubame is a wonderful yarn for Entrelac patterns. I love this yarn and am quite certain you will too!

I have always loved the color explosion from Noro, but the silk in this makes it so soft.
Love it.
