About this product
Akeboshi takes its name from the Japanese word for the morning star, and the colorways capture that moment just before sunrise. Deep, grounded shades carry the fabric while flecks of brighter color surface unexpectedly from row to row. The 85% wool and 15% silk blend gives warmth and body with a soft silk sheen, and the gently varied single ply adds texture to even plain stockinette. Each generous 150-gram ball knits quickly into statement sweaters, cardigans, jackets, hats and scarves with Noro's signature depth of color.
