Rikka
$60.00
The Noro Rikka is a voluminous yarn and a typical Noro blend of Merino wool & Corriedale, combined with the softest Peruvian alpaca, and undyed mulberry silk. The yarn and the finished knitted fabric appear to be covered with a touch of white. It seems as if you are looking at a landscape that has been surprised by a frosty night or a sudden snowfall. (which is the meaning of Rikka in Japanese "snow crystal")
