Tsubame is a delicious yarn from Noro, wound into a large ball and with a plethora of colors with long color runs.
The yarn is 50% silk/ 25% wool/ 25% nylon -- the silk, I suspect, is one of the reasons it feels so lovely running through my fingers. Each ball has 656 yards (600m) per 200g.
I took one ball and began to knit it in a scarf-sized version of Tuck Stars by Ute Nawratil . You can see my progress in the second photo on this page.
The colorway here is #2, Kamaishi . I see pink, fuchsia, red, gray, olive, lilac, sage, cream and violet -- I might have missed a few others.
