Kompeito | Cotton and silk yarn blend | Noro

A playful twist on elegance, Noro’s Kompeito is a DK weight yarn inspired by the delicate beauty of Japanese sugar candy. With its luminous silk, soft cotton and resilient polyamide blend, Kompeito is a joy to work with and even more delightful to wear.

A Yarn with a Story

“Kompeitō” is the Japanese word for traditional star-shaped sugar candy, often gifted during celebratory occasions. This yarn embodies the same sense of delight and sparkle: soft yet striking, colourful yet sophisticated. Each skein is a celebration in itself, full of vibrant colour transitions and gentle textural interest that mimic the whimsical charm of its namesake.

Why You’ll Love It

A luxurious blend of 35% cotton, 35% silk and 30% polyamide, making it soft and breathable for every season
Vibrant variegated colourways that shift seamlessly as you work
Stunning drape and sheen from the silk content, paired with lightweight strength
Ideal for lightweight garments, scarves, shawls and transitional-weather pieces

Spun with Purpose

In keeping with Noro’s renowned philosophy, Kompeito honours the beauty of natural fibres and artisanal spinning. Each skein reflects founder Eisaku Noro’s commitment to preserving the harmony between handcraft and the environment. The yarn is manufactured in Japan with minimal chemical treatment and maximal respect for the fibre’s integrity, resulting in a textured, organic finish that celebrates imperfection and individuality.

Perfect For

Textured shawls and flowing scarves
Lightweight cardigans and tops
Statement pieces that let colour take centre stage
