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. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe result is a fabric with remarkable depth, movement, and the unmistakable artistry of Noro. If you have always wanted to knit with Noro ITO but it has been a little too rustic\/natural for you, then Akeoboshi is something to try with its added silk. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach generous 150-gram ball contains approximately 295 yards, making Akeboshi an inspiring choice for statement sweaters, sculptural cardigans, cozy jackets, hats, scarves, and accessories.

Deep, grounded tones form the foundation of the yarn, while lively flecks and shifting strands of colour appear unexpectedly throughout, like sparks of light scattered across the early morning sky. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease note each ball looks slight different as different sections of the colour way are visible from the outer layer.
