A tonal daydream of delicate colour shifts, Noro Kakigori is a luxurious DK weight yarn that blends cotton, silk, viscose and polyamide into a generous ball of softness and strength. Inspired by kakigōri, the traditional Japanese shaved ice dessert, this yarn mirrors its namesake with subtle swirls of colour that melt seamlessly into one another, creating a textural and visual feast.
Each 200g skein of Kakigori holds 600 metres of knitting, crocheting or weaving delight, perfect for elegant draped garments, oversized summer wraps and all-season layering pieces. Whether you’re embracing lacework or relaxed stockinette, the lightness of cotton and silk with the durability of viscose and polyamide makes this a go-to yarn for garments that flow, move and last.
A Yarn with a Story
Kakigori is named after a beloved Japanese dessert, and just like its namesake, each skein is an experience in flavour and finesse. The shifting colours evoke memories of summer, celebration and artistry. This yarn is not only about creating something beautiful; it’s about capturing a feeling, a memory, a season in stitches.

Spun with Purpose
Noro Kakigori is made in Japan with the brand’s signature commitment to sustainability, slow production and natural beauty. Guided by the belief that yarn should be as harmonious with nature as it is with the hands that shape it, Noro yarns are dyed in small batches using environmentally responsible methods and traditional techniques. Kakigori celebrates this philosophy with subtle complexity, refined materials and an aesthetic that honours imperfection, individuality and intention.
Your Next Mindful Make
Kakigori’s generous meterage and lightweight feel make it perfect for large-scale garments and flowing accessories. Try it in feather-light cardigans, contemporary jackets, oversized tops or draped lace shawls where the yarn can truly shine. It’s particularly stunning in relaxed silhouettes and open stitchwork that let the colours play.
