A clever twist of wool, alpaca, and silk provide a sturdy base with a touch of luxury to this vibrantly coloured aran/heavy-worsted yarn. Madara means "speckled" in Japanese; a process of double dyeing allows the base colour to peek through, resulting in a tasteful tweed.

Find patterns designed specifically in Noro Madara here on Ravelry, or substitute it in your favourite pattern for worsted or aran weight yarn (remember to swatch!)
