Named for the “morning star,” Akeboshi evokes that fleeting moment before sunrise, when the sky is still shadowed but the first hints of color begin to break through. Deep, grounded tones form the foundation of the yarn, while lively flecks and shifting strands of color appear unexpectedly throughout, like sparks of light scattered across the early morning sky. The result is a fabric with remarkable depth, movement, and the unmistakable artistry of Noro. A luxurious blend of 85% wool and 15% silk gives Akeboshi warmth and substance, balanced by the soft luster and fluidity of silk. Its gently varied texture adds dimension to even the simplest stitches, allowing stockinette, garter stitch, cables, and textured patterns to develop an organic, richly layered appearance. Each generous 150-gram ball contains approximately 295 yards, making Akeboshi an inspiring choice for statement sweaters, sculptural cardigans, cozy jackets, hats, scarves, and accessories. Bold yet beautifully nuanced, it is a yarn for projects that feel both grounded and luminous, with every stitch revealing another unexpected detail.
Hand-dyed yarns have subtle variations that cause colors to vary from skein to skein. As this is a natural part of the process, please note there may be differences between the yarn images shown and the yarn received. Therefore, we encourage buying enough yarn for the entire project at the same time. You can always call the shop for color verification.
