Noro Akari
Named for the Japanese word meaning “light,” Noro Akari brings together the spirit of summer with the unmistakable beauty of Noro color. This soft, worsted-weight yarn is a luxurious blend of cotton, silk, viscose, wool, and a touch of polyamide—perfect for breathable garments and elegant, drapey wraps that shine in any season.
What sets Akari apart is its painterly color palette: bold, shifting shades that flow effortlessly from one hue to the next, creating visual interest without ever having to change yarns. Each generous 200g skein offers over 500 yards of richly textured yarn, making it ideal for statement pieces that showcase the full magic of Noro’s artistry.
