Description
We are so happy to now carry ITO yarns!
From ITO:
ITO Kinu is a 100% silk noil yarn, also called organic silk, as it is produced from the leftovers of spun filament silk. Differently colored fibers are blended for this silk noil yarn, to produce a melange effect. Kinu is an all-purpose silk yarn - for sportive as well as for elegant wear. Knit it single or multistranded. Enjoy its pleasant feel.
Tip: Knits up beautifully on its own, but also pairs so nicely with Sensai (US 4(3.5mm) needles for a 25sts/4”(10cm) gauge) and So Asa (US 6(4mm) needles for a 22sts/4”(10cm) gauge.
About ITO
ITO is Japanese for yarn or thread. ITO – Fine Yarn from Japan are special yarns, produced in Japan, a country with a long tradition in textiles.
ITO collaborates with small spinning and dyeing mills and understands itself as ambassador for the unique Japanese textile tradition.
All yarns are distinguished for their special manufacturing process, extraordinary composition and unusual color palette or variety. ITO yarns provide a tactile experience. All yarns are subject to fair labor conditions and high industry standards and are – in part handcrafted, in part from recycled materials – produced entirely by small family businesses in Japan. -From ITO
