Rikka
Noro Rikka
Noro Rikka is a luxurious, voluminous yarn, blending Merino wool and Corriedale with the softest Peruvian alpaca and undyed mulberry silk. The yarn and finished fabric have a delicate white overlay, reminiscent of a landscape touched by a frosty night or sudden snowfall. ‘Rikka’ means ‘snow crystal’ in Japanese, perfectly capturing its ethereal beauty. This overlay is due to the undyed mulberry silk!
Noro Rikka is a bulky-weight yarn that combines several high-quality fibers to create a unique and beautiful texture. Here’s what makes it special:
- Fiber Composition: Rikka is made from 57% wool (a blend of Merino and Corriedale), 22% alpaca, and 21% undyed mulberry silk.
- Texture and Appearance: The yarn has a voluminous feel and a distinctive look, often described as appearing to be dusted with a touch of white, reminiscent of a frosty landscape or snow crystals.
