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.
Alt uld der bruges til fremstilling af garnerne er fra økologiske farme i bl.a. Australien, Falklands øerne og Sydafrika. Designer og stifter Eisaku Noro har været personlig involveret i kontrol med alle aspekter af produktionen, fra besøg på farmene til de anvendte maskiner og farvnings processer. Dette er for at sikre at produkterne er så øko-venlige som muligt.
The treatment of wool, such as friction and heat, weakens the fibers. Minimizing wool treatment avoids destroying the structure of the wool and is a great benefit to the environment.
