A really strikingly lovely super-bulky yarn from Noro. 

The yarn is called Kanzashi and is made up of 30% mohair + 30% silk + 23% wool + 3% nylon in a large 150g ball of 232 yards.

To quote the folks at Noro: 

Kanzashi are traditional Japanese hair ornaments, typically in vivid colors and floral shapes —worn especially in modern times by brides.

This nubby yarn is the ultimate attention-getter!

Kanzashi is unique in its nubby boucle texture.

Kanzashi’s incredible look and feel is perfect for adding pizzazz to simple stitches. A bulky self-striping yarn in a mohair, organic silk, wool, poly blend, Kanzashi works up beautifully into colorful accessories or sweaters.

This colorway is named Mitaka and is a delightful melody of cool hues.  I see bark, pine, violet, lilac, fuchsia, aster, sage and more -- many of the colors of spring in fact!
