Noro Striping Tricks
You can get great striping effects
using Noro yarns, all you need to do is use colours of yarn and
alternate every other round.
Yarn A is a Noro yarn like Silk
Garden, Kureyon or Taiyo. Yarn B is a solid colour, like Cascade
220, Lamb`s Pride Worsted, or Malabrigo Worsted.
Yarn A is one shade of Noro yarn,
and Yarn B is another shade of the same Noro Yarn.
Use only 1 colour of Noro yarn,
but Yarn A is taken from inside of skein, and Yarn B is taken from
outside of skein (ie. opposite ends of the colourway).
