Noro Kureyon The 30th anniversary collection

Book - 2018

There are few yarns that compare to Noro's Kureyon (Japanese for "crayon"). Its ultra-soft, roving-like wool makes it a joy to knit with, and its luscious colorways make every project a work of art. There is no better way to celebrate Kureyon's 30 colorful years than with 30 vibrant, new knits. Whether searching for something quick, like a hat or cowl, or a larger project, such as a multidirectional cardigan or a star-motif shawl, this latest volume in the Knit Noro collection has something for everyone to kick off the next 30 years in style.

Review by Booklist Review

Kureyon is the Japanese word for crayon, and it is perhaps Noro's signature yarn line. It is notable for the way it patterns and stripes as it is worked and is highly prized by knitters. To celebrate the yarn's thirtieth anniversary comes this handsome volume whose projects highlight the way the yarn subtly shifts in hue and tone. Among the patterns are sweaters, hats, shawls, cowls, and capes. For the home, there are blankets and pillows. The projects run the gamut in difficulty from a simple seed-stitch scarf to a long brick-pattern shawl with chevron stripes that uses double-wrapped stitches, elongated stitches, and yarn changes. Unlike in some knitting books, which don't illustrate enough, patterns here often get four photographs. Throughout, it's the full-size color photographs, along with smaller additions, that will make knitters drool. Fans of Noro will adore this one, and those new to the yarn will want to get started ASAP.--Cooper, Ilene Copyright 2018 Booklist
