Rikka Yarn from Noro

The Noro Rikka is a voluminous yarn and a typical Noro blend of Merino wool & Corriedale, combined with the softest Peruvian alpaca, and undyed mulberry silk. The yarn and the finished knitted fabric appear to be covered with a touch of white. It seems as if you are looking at a landscape that has been surprised by a frosty night or a sudden snowfall. (which is the meaning of Rikka in Japanese "snow crystal") Details: 57% Wool, 22% Alpaca, 21% Silk Made in Japan 350 yds / 200g Bulky #5  1 ply Suggested Knitting Gauge: Knits to 12-15 stitches over 4 inches on US 9-11 / 5.5-8mm Suggested Crochet Gauge: Single Crochet 8-11 stitches over 4inches on hook I9 - L11 Suggested Care:  Hand wash, dry flat
