Akari means "light" in Japanese, and it's a perfect name for this delightful yarn from Noro. Akari is an elegant medium-weight blend of silk, cotton, viscose (rayon), mohair, and wool, with a little polyamide added to strengthen its single-ply structure. Each 200-gram ball contains 480 metres—making one or two balls enough for many small-to-medium sized projects. And of course each ball is a journey through a sequence of gorgeous colour, each melting into the next in Noro's inimitable signature style. A great choice both knitting and crochet.
