Spun with Purpose
 
Noro Akari Solo is the heart of this project, a soft, airy yarn inspired by the textures, colours and natural artistry of Japan. Its subtle transitions and tonal shifts bring depth to the floral motifs, letting each petal and lace detail shine.
 
This yarn is:
A luxurious blend of silk, cotton, viscose, wool and mohair
Light, breathable and comfortable across seasons
Rich with deep colour
Beautifully textured, perfect for showcasing lace and motifs
Soft against the skin with a gentle drape
 
Every ball carries the signature Noro character: organic, expressive and deeply connected to the maker’s hand.

The Scallop Crochet Cardigan is a piece you’ll reach for on repeat: versatile, feminine and effortlessly wearable.
 
Style it:
Over a simple tank and jeans for everyday ease
Layered with a midi dress for soft, romantic charm
As a statement top with tailored pants and jewellery
With linen on warm days or over long sleeves on cooler ones
 
It’s a satisfying project with a beautiful payoff: a cardigan that looks boutique-made but carries every moment of your own craftsmanship.
