One has a label (ripped!), the other does not. I'm 99% positive they're from the same dye lot, A, but I have no proof. Both balls are 103g without the bands - they're both new and unused. Lot of 2 Noro Kureopatora yarn balls in color 1001, Ktora. A beautiful variegated yarn of blues and purples. Ravelry lists this as an Aran (8 wpi). Gauge: 18.0 to 20.0 sts = 4 inches. Needle size: US 6 - 7 or 4 - 4.5mm. Hook size: 4mm (G) - 4.5mm. Single ply, 100% wool, a Merino blend. Self striping. Hand wash. No trades, please!
