Noro Haunui
Celebrate the raw beauty of wool in its purest form with Noro Haunui. Sourced from a single flock of New Zealand sheep bred especially for Noro, Haunui (pronounced Hoo-noo-ee, meaning “place of the winds”) comes in a natural palette of undyed shades ranging from creamy whites to warm fawns, heathered greys, and deep charcoals. Each skein is a reflection of the landscape and heritage of the flock, making it as unique as the project you create.
Spun in Japan, Haunui has a rustic, handspun character that blooms beautifully once washed and blocked. Its subtle variations and earthy tones shine in garments, accessories, and heirloom pieces where the natural depth of the fiber takes center stage.
Because this yarn is presented in its natural colors, no two skeins are exactly alike. Be sure to purchase enough for your project, as the specific shade you fall in love with may not be available again.

Finnegan’s Tip: Haunui’s natural beauty is its greatest strength. Alternate skeins as you work to blend subtle shifts in shade and enjoy the organic character that makes each project truly one of a kind.
