Noro - Akari Yarn
Akari is a soft, worsted weight multi fiber blend that features organic silk and cotton. Translated to "light" or "glimmer" in English, the silk adds a beautiful sheen to this yarn. It is a delightful choice for knitting and crocheting multi-season garments.
Mrs. Knits knitted it in a shell tank top using several different yarns to test out the patterns. Akari is a favorite of hers because the designs are simple to knit and very stylish. The colors have a white-wash effect.
NOTE: Color variations are a normal design feature of this and most Noro yarns. What you receive may look different on the outside or be a different dye lot than one of the photos, but all colors in the swatch photo will be in the skein. We will not accept returns based on those color variations, unless you receive a colorway # other than the above.
