Rikka from Noro

Rikka is a blend of Corriedale and Merino wool with Peruvian alpaca and mulberry silk. The yarn and 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".)
