Noro Okunoshima is a soft self-striping single ply silk, wool, angora, and mohair blend yarn that creates beautifully colorful accessories, sweaters, blankets and any other project your imagination can dream up. Okunoshima works up at a gauge very similar to that of Noro Silk Garden and can be used as a substitute. Important note, it comes in big 100 gram skeins - yey! - so keep this in mind when substituting for Silk Garden (you would need half as many skeins of Okunoshima).
