About NORO

According to Eisaku Noro, the founder of NORO, the Japanese have always loved the diversity of nature. This is the foundation of NORO yarn's philosophy. Natural fibers have unique properties that humans cannot replicate. Eisaku Noro wants to preserve these properties in his yarn. When producing wool yarn, he uses different lengths and thicknesses of wool to create a structure that resembles the sheep's varied wool. This is achieved by using manpower and old spinning machines so that the natural wool fiber is not over-processed. Impurities in the wool are carefully removed by hand, without the use of chemical treatments. This is good for both the wool and especially for the environment. All wool used for the production of the yarns comes from organic farms in, among others, 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 machines used and dyeing processes. This is to ensure that the products are as eco-friendly as possible. The treatment of the wool, such as friction and heat, weakens the fibers. By minimizing the treatment of the wool, you avoid destroying the structure of the wool, and at the same time it is of great benefit to the environment.
