Noro Kompeito

Noro Kompeitō takes its name from the Japanese word for “rock candy,” a fitting tribute to its jewel-like heathered colors. Blending the softness of cotton, the sheen of silk, and the durability of polyamide, this DK-weight yarn offers both beauty and strength. Presented in generous 150g cakes with nearly 500 yards each, Kompeitō is perfect for creating lightweight garments and accessories with graceful drape and luminous color.

Great for: Shawls, scarves, wraps, and airy warm-weather garments.
