Okunoshima is a beautiful yarn from Noro which seems to have been discontinued. 

The yarn convincingly mimics the very best in true handspun.

I quote Noro here:

It is a trusted silk and wool blend with added Angora and mohair to provide lightness and loft.
Knitting up at a 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.

*****

Okunoshima is 35% Silk + 28% Wool + 20% Angora + 17% Mohair, with 242 yards (221 meters)/ 100g. 

The yarn blooms amazingly when washed -- the angora really makes it special.
