Noro Sonata Shima

The variegated twin to Noro's Sonata, Sonata Shima is a multicolored, lightweight and breathable yarn perfect for tops and garments designed for the warmer months. This yarn is a popular choice for summer tops, but will perform beautifully in any project. The blend of cotton, viscose, and nylon provide versatile stretch and movement- and the addition of silk brings a slight sheen to this yarn. Sonata is sourced from organically certified farms from around the world. Made using traditional machinery or by hand, this yarn highlights the joy of natural and subtle variation of the material.
