Yukiusagi, meaning “snow rabbit,” captures the softness, stillness, and quiet magic of a winter landscape. Its name calls to mind a small white hare moving across freshly fallen snow, light on its feet and almost weightless against the horizon. In the same spirit, this airy yarn creates fabric that feels delicate and ethereal, yet remains wonderfully warm.

Spun from 70% wool and 30% mohair, Yukiusagi combines the comforting warmth of wool with the graceful halo and luminosity of mohair. Color drifts gently through the strand, creating soft transitions that seem to glow from within.The finished fabric has a cloudlike softness and subtle movement, giving simple silhouettes an elegant, dreamlike quality.

With approximately 443 yards in each 150-gram ball, Yukiusagi offers generous yardage for lightweight sweaters, flowing cardigans, shawls, scarves, and layered accessories. It is an ideal choice for garments that provide warmth without heaviness, wrapping the wearer in color, softness, and the quiet beauty of a winter morning.
