ITO Iki, finest silk for your embroidery
Sometimes it takes only a delicate thread to turn a simple detail into something truly extraordinary. ITO Iki is a filament silk yarn made of 100% mulberry silk, delivering precisely what one desires from silk: a stunning, natural luster and an remarkably soft hand.
Specifically developed for hand embroidery, Iki grants you an impressive amount of creative freedom. The thread consists of six loosely bundled silk filaments that can be used as a whole or split apart. This allows you to work finest lines, delicate shading, and a wide array of textures.
For bolder lines or filling larger areas, multiple strands can be used together. It becomes especially exciting when you twist two or more threads together by hand, creating entirely new structures and effects that lend extra depth to your embroidery.
Iki also offers endless opportunities to experiment with color. Different shades can be combined and blended to achieve subtle gradients. Working with Iki feels almost like painting, only executed in pure silk.
With 32 shades, ITO Iki provides abundant possibilities for fine embroidery, special accents, and small textile works of art. A thread for anyone who delights in playing with color, texture, and the finest nuances.
And frankly, with a sheen like this, the embroidery may very well take center stage.
