ITO Gima 8.5, cotton with a truly unique character
ITO Gima 8.5 is no ordinary cotton yarn. Thanks to its special manufacturing process, the thread achieves an unusual, subtly textured appearance that instantly lends a distinct quality to any knitting or crochet project.
Despite its characterful surface, Gima 8.5 remains wonderfully light and airy. That is precisely what makes it a fantastic yarn for the warmer months. Airy tops, lightweight sweaters, shawls, or summery accessories take on a signature texture while feeling effortlessly relaxed and easygoing.
I particularly love how versatile Gima 8.5 is to work with. You can knit or crochet it single-stranded to create an exceptionally light fabric, or hold multiple strands together for more volume and a firmer structure.
And then, of course, there is the color: with over 40 shades available, you have endless options, ranging from subtle natural tones to vibrant pops of color. This allows Gima 8.5 to shine all on its own or pair beautifully with other yarns.
A summery cotton yarn for anyone who loves lightweight knits with a touch of extra character.
I recommend gentle hand washing.
