Yarn Tour
Deborah Norville Yarn doesn't just happen. It's manufactured in a state of the art facility in Turkey, located not far from the famed Silk Road. Take a look at this photo album from my first trip to the mill and see start-to-finish how my super soft yarn goes from an idea to the yarn at your local store.

Deborah Norville Yarn starts as a mound of fine acrylic fiber

Even before processing it is very soft

But STRONG!

The fiber is pulled into coils
-
...which are twisted
-
Huge fiber bails
-
and made into huge rolls
-
Thousands of miles...

...and miles of yarn

The yarn is spread on the conveyor belts

Color is sprayed to create pattern yarns

Heat "sets" the color

Gorgeous, isn't it?

More gorgeous patterns

Someone will soon knit with this!
