| I love NORO's Taiyo yarn. I have knit several garments with it and am very pleased with them all. This yarn glides through your fingers and is soft and hangs beautifully. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I found after my first swatch that it does stretch quite a bit after washing it a few times. I really punish my swatches and I'm glad I do. Be sure and knit anything you make with Taiyo a bit tighter than you would normally because it will grow the first few times you wash it. It does wash beautifully other than that. Be sure you swatch, measure, then wash that swatch a few times, then remeasure before knitting your garment. If you take the extra time you will end up with a garment people will stop you on the street to admire and you can wash in the gentle cycle of your machine. |

| Used colorway 29 to make the Kimono Cardigan from the Knit Noro book. The colorway is amazing. The yarn was super soft and a pleasure to work with. Cotton sometimes hurts my hands, but I had no problems with Taiyo. The yarn does go a bit thick and thin. I'd advise being careful when you get to the thin areas as I had the yarn snap a few times, especially when seaming. |

| I'm very pleased with this product and will be back for more NORO yarns! In the past, I haven't liked working with cotton or cotton blends - this yarn is an exception. The colorways are beautiful and keep things interesting. |

| Absolutely one of my favorite Noro yarns to knit. The colors are amazing and knit up wonderfully with no color pooling. The cotton/silk combo is amazing. It's a joy to knit and will be incredible to wear. |

| Taiyo yarn is colorful and pretty, easy to handle, and looks great in the finished garmet. It goes where you tell it to--makes a waist, make nice big hips. Colors can be used as they come off the skein, or can be separated by color--with their position in the color scheme of the garmet determined by the knitter. Enjoy! |

| I loved working with this yarn - the colors were beautiful and it made a beautiful shawl. I liked it so well I had to order more in a different color to make a shawl for myself. |
