Believe me, it's that same color!

Today we received a new yarn: Noro Taiyo Sock yarn. It's a thinner version of it's big sister Taiyo - which is a heavy worsted favorite in our shop for sweaters, baby blankets and cozy spring cotton scarves. It's got the same main ingredients as the Taiyo: cotton, wool, nylon and silk, but in slightly different percentages (more cotton and less silk). Of course this would be a great cotton sock yarn, but I am seeing shawls and lighter sweaters here...

The colors are amazing, and in true Noro form, each ball packs a LOT of color! Can you believe that these two balls are the same color? (color #5) And these two balls are the same, both color #9? When photographing them, I thought they were completely different colors. It just shows how balls of Noro yarn have lots of hidden surprises inside them! And sometimes you just never know what's coming next...
