Noro yarns embrace the Japanese philosophy of accepting & enjoying the non-uniformity, unevenness, & natural beauty of nature.  All animal fibers spun into Noro yarns come from certified organic farms around the world.  The yarns are as eco-friendly as possible with many processes still done by hand or on traditional machinery.

Akari is a soft, summer friendly blend of silk & cotton, with a bit of viscose, mohair, wool & nylon to round out the mix.  Light in weight, the worsted weight yarn is a single-ply delight with a subtle thick & thin quality.  This gives the yarn a pleasing casual, lived-in feel that is perfect for weekends away.

Akari Solo has an array of vacation ready tonals that are ideal for tees, tanks, wraps & resort style cardigans.  Akari has wonderful yardage for fewer ends to weave in!
