Noro Silk Garden Sock : 87 Noshiro

There is something wonderfully addictive about watching a ball of Noro Silk Garden Sock reveal itself stitch by stitch. Shade 87 showcases everything we love about Noro yarn - beautiful colour, luxurious fibres and the perfectly imperfect character that makes every finished project feel like a little piece of textile art.

Spun in Japan, this versatile DK weight yarn blends 40% wool, 25% silk, 25% nylon and 10% kid mohair. The combination creates a yarn with warmth, softness and strength, while the silk adds a gentle glow and the mohair creates a delicate haze around your stitches. The unique texture and changing colours mean even the simplest knitting or crochet projects can become something truly special.

A Little Ball of Creative Possibilities

Although it has sock in the name, Noro Silk Garden Sock is far from a one-trick yarn. It works beautifully for socks, of course, but it is equally at home in cosy jumpers, cardigans, shawls, scarves, hats and crochet projects. Using a 3.5mm to 4mm needle or hook, it creates a lovely fabric with drape, texture and plenty of personality.

Whether you're a beginner casting on your first project or a confident maker with a queue of patterns waiting to be made, this is a yarn that encourages you to relax and enjoy the process. There is no need for complicated stitch patterns when the yarn itself creates so much interest.

At Gilliangladrag, we love Noro yarn for its wonderfully untamed nature. Every ball has its own rhythm, every colour transition tells a different story and the finished result is always completely unique to the person who made it.
