Rikka Yarn | Noro

Rikka is a bulky blend of Noro's signature corriedale/merino wool base combined with softest Peruvian alpaca & undyed mulberry silk, which highlights the finished fabric with touches of white like snow on the mountains of Japan. Put up in a dragon egg ball, one ball can yield a small scarf or cowl as the colors unfold across your needles/hooks. Rikka in Japanese translates roughly to "snow crystal as beautiful as a flower in winter". 57% Wool, 22% Alpaca, 21% Silk 200g per 350 yds 12-15 sts per 4"knit Knits to 12-15 stitches over 4 inches on US 9-11 / 5.5-8mm
