Ito Kinu Yarn

Ito Kinu yarn is a fine lace weight yarn made from bourette silk.

Bourette silk is not your typical silk - it's more about softness and warmth as opposed to the sheen that is expected from mulberry silk. Instead of being long sections of silk that form threads, bourette silk is created by spinning the residual fibres of filament silk.

The technique used to create the Ito Kinu yarn gives it a lively texture, which feels lovely to work with and to wear. The technique is also a sustainable method of creating thread, as it uses what might otherwise be considered as silk waste and turns it into a high quality, soft and useful thread.

Ito Kinu yarn can be worked with other yarns and retain the comfortable feel against your skin, adding softness to other materials and pairing together to bring the elegance of Ito Sensai into the fold. Or, combine Ito Kinu Yarn with Ito Shimo Yarn for the Ease Tee by Anne Ventzel.
