In weaving, the soft hand combined with the durability of this yarn makes it perfect for colorful throws and blankets. Terrific for colorwork at a heavier gauge, Norumbega Yarn is ideal in almost any heavy-worsted, or aran weight knitting pattern. With generous yardage (160 yds/skein), Botanica is a great value and a treat to work with.
Here are some of our favorite projects for this classic New England yarn:
