Noro Tensan

A luminous blend of 68% silk and 32% wool, Tensan embodies the grace and beauty of nature. Named for the Japanese word meaning “silkworm,” Tensan pays homage to the ancient origins of silk — a fiber long cherished for its strength, sheen, and luxurious feel.

Blended with fine wool, this yarn offers warmth, resilience, and a soft glow that feels indulgent against the skin. Each 150-gram skein (328 yards) is dyed in Noro’s signature palette — where rich earth tones mingle with radiant bursts of color. The flowing gradients and vibrant contrasts capture Noro’s philosophy: finding beauty in nature’s harmony and bringing it to life through fiber.

Tensan knits into fabrics that are light yet comfortably warm. From textured cardigans and elegant wraps to summery tops and cozy accessories, every project reveals Noro’s signature artistry — a celebration of color, texture, and timeless style. 🌿
