About NORO

According to Eisaku Noro, founder of NORO, Japanese people have always loved the diversity of nature. This is the background of the NORO yarn philosophy. Natural fibers have some special properties that man cannot copy. Eisaku Noro wants to preserve these properties in his yarns. When making wool yarn, he uses different lengths and thicknesses of wool to produce a structure that resembles the heterogeneous wool of sheep. This is achieved by using hand power and old spinning machines so that the natural wool fiber is not over-processed.

Impurities in the wool are gently removed by hand, without the use of chemical treatments. This is both good for the wool and especially for the environment.

All the wool used to make the yarns is sourced from organic farms in Australia, the Falkland Islands and South Africa. Designer and founder Eisaku Noro is personally involved in controlling all aspects of production, from visits to the farms to the machinery and dyeing processes used. This is to ensure that the products are as eco-friendly as possible.
