Noro Tennen

We have some subtle new Noro on the shelves these days. Tennen is a gorgeous wool/alpaca/silk blend. This pretty yarn knits up at about 4 to 4.5 stitches per inch on a US7, and it shows a nice quiet fading stripe. 

We haven't had a chance to work up any samples yet, but I'm looking forward to see how it knits up. I know some of you will consider this for a Noromania blanket. Wouldn't that be gorgeous? Yes, it sure would.
