Ito Shimo yarn is spun from the finest mulesing-free merino sourced from Uruguay together with recycled silk. The company follows ancient spinning system that is known for creating the best quality yarns, which involves using a traditional carriage spinning machine. This technique reveals the distinctive melange effect.

Ito Shimo yarn is washed after spinning to develop its soft full structure, creating a fabric that gains depth and beauty with every wash. Your creations will only become more beautiful with every wear, perfect for those evergreen patterns that you love.

One of the most interesting things about the Ito Shimo yarn is that it has been designed to combine with other yarns from the Japanese brand to create endless colour combinations, allowing you to make something that's never been done before. As an idea, a suggestion is to combine Ito Shimo Yarn with Ito Kinu Yarn to make the Ease Tee by Anne Ventzel.
