Offered here are 3 skeins of Noro Haunui Silk yarn in the natural, off-white shade Color #119 South Island. This beautifully understated color highlights the organic character of the fibers, with subtle tonal variation that makes every project unique.
Haunui is a truly special yarn sourced from Taranui, a small family-owned farm in the foothills of New Zealand’s South Island. It blends wool from the farm’s own Haunui sheep—a unique cross of New Zealand Halfbred and Romney—with raw Mulberry silk. The result is a yarn that is incredibly soft, gently lustrous, and durable enough for long-lasting garments.
As with all Noro yarns, Haunui embraces natural variation in fiber and color, celebrating the beauty of the raw materials. The undyed palette is created by blending fleece from sheep of similar tones, producing rich, earthy shades with depth and character.
Perfect for sweaters, cardigans, wraps, and accessories that you’ll treasure for years.
