Noro Akeboshi
That quiet moment before sunrise, when the sky is still dark but color starts breaking through? That's Akeboshi. Named for the "morning star," this bulky-weight beauty pairs deep, grounded base tones with flecks and streaks of color that pop up where you least expect them.
It's Noro, so you already know the color work is going to be something special.
An 85% wool / 15% silk blend gives you real warmth with a soft sheen and lovely drape. The gently varied texture does the heavy lifting, so even plain stockinette or garter looks rich and layered. Cables and texture stitches? Even better.
At 295 yards per generous 150g ball, you'll need fewer balls than you think for a statement sweater, a sculptural cardigan, or a cozy jacket. It's also a fast, satisfying pick for hats, scarves, and cowls.
Bold but nuanced. Every stitch shows you something new.
