Okunoshima by NORO (Vintage NORO)

Introduced for fall/winter 2020.

Okunoshima is an energetic yarn that convincingly mimics the very best in true handspun.
It is a trusted silk and wool blend with added Angora and mohair to provide lightness and loft. Knitting up at an aran or "worsted" weight gauge, Okunoshima is a unique yarn that’s unlike anything you’ve seen before.

Okunoshima is a small island best known as “Rabbit Island’ for its plentiful, furry wild denizens, making it and apt name for this soft yarn.
