Noro Akeboshi
Deep tones, unexpected sparks of color, and a little morning light in every stitch. Noro Akeboshi pairs grounded shades with lively flecks and shifting strands of color, giving your fabric depth and movement.
Its wool-and-silk blend brings warmth and substance with a soft luster. Gently varied texture adds character to simple stockinette and garter stitch, or brings a richly layered feel to cables and textured patterns. Reach for it for a statement sweater, cozy jacket, or scarf that lets the yarn do the talking.
