Spun with Purpose
 
Noro Kakigori is the heart of this project: lightweight, airy and richly tonal. Its long colour changes create soft gradients across the mesh fabric, giving the set a painterly, almost hand-dyed effect.
 
This yarn is:
A luxurious blend of cotton, viscose, silk and polyamide
Light and breathable for warm climates
Soft with beautiful drape
Textured yet gentle on the skin
Ideal for openwork stitches and summer garments
 
Kakigori transforms simple mesh into something elegant, dimensional and truly unique.

Style it:
Layered over swimwear for a chic beach or poolside look
With sandals and a sunhat for effortless holiday dressing
As matching separates paired with linen, denim or a simple tank
Dressed up with a slip dress, earrings and slides for sunset dinners
 
Wear it together, wear it apart; it’s a slow-fashion staple infused with handmade charm.
 
Your Next Mindful Make
 
There’s something soothing about openwork: the gentle repetition, the play of light and shadow, the way each row feels like breathing. Let the soft drape of Kakigori and the ease of the stitch pattern guide you into your next creative flow.
