Noro Ohajiki 10 Kitakami

Kitakami is colour 10 of Noro Ohajiki — deep charcoal and black, lit with small sparks of red and white.

Ohajiki is a cotton-rich Noro yarn with silk, wool and viscose mixed in, so it has more bounce than plain cotton. The colours flow from one to the next in long, painterly stretches.
