I was given some older Noro yarn. 75%wool/25% silk. It looks larger than worsted. Label says 100 gr 13 or J7 (Japanese) and X 6.0 or 7.0 at top ???/iro. Any idea needles needed to work up? or should I just figure it out?
IMHO throw it out. Most horrible yarn ever.dottie ward said:I was given some older Noro yarn. 75%wool/25% silk. It looks larger than worsted. Label says 100 gr 13 or J7 (Japanese) and X 6.0 or 7.0 at top ???/iro. Any idea needles needed to work up? or should I just figure it out?
Here is a link to a conversion chart for Japanese/US/UK knitting needles. Looks like a J7 is somewhere between a US 6 and 7dottie ward said:I was given some older Noro yarn. 75%wool/25% silk.

Lol I tend to agree . Every time I knit with it I swear never again.WindingRoad said:IMHO throw it out. Most horrible yarn ever.
:thumbup: Good starting point for that first swatch. But your needle size could also be determined by the pattern and what result you want from it.purdeygirl said:If you do WPI that should give you a good idea of the gauge.![]()
Pretty much.. Hey, you asked.barcar said:I made a pair of fingerless gloves using one ball of Noro Kureyon yarn. The pair didn't anything like each other. I'm thinking about buying another ball and seeing if two more gloves might match each one of the first set. Am I crazy?
That made me laugh out loud! I do like Noro a lot but it definitely has its challenges.WindingRoad said:IMHO throw it out. Most horrible yarn ever.
I love working with Nuro and made a scarf. I always get compliments. I like the colors of Nuro. It depends on how much 'some yarn' is. I would go for a scarf or even just a neck covering if you don't have a lot of yarn.dottie ward said:I was given some older Noro yarn. 75%wool/25% silk. It looks larger than worsted.

I like Noro yarn. I made scarfs with it and both were beautiful. I sold both of them quicklyQuiltermouse said:I'm one of the folks who enjoy Noro. It's a fun change of pace from the smooth yarns.
