ITO Rakuda, precious camel hair meets fine wool
ITO Rakuda is a yarn for anyone who loves things extra soft and cozy. The combination of high-quality wool and the finest camel hair makes this thread truly special.
It uses the soft undercoat of the camel, which has long been prized for its extraordinary fineness, lightness, and warmth. Blended with wool, it creates a wonderfully elastic yarn that feels comfortable against the skin while offering great shape retention.
And then, of course, there is the warmth: camel hair has outstanding insulating properties without making the finished knit feel heavy. Rakuda becomes especially beautiful after washing, as the yarn blooms to its full volume and develops a wonderfully soft, cozy feel.
A quick tip for your swatch: I strongly recommend washing it before measuring. Only after washing does Rakuda show how much it blooms, giving you a reliable result for your project.
With 19 classic ITO colors, Rakuda is wonderfully versatile. Whether it is a cozy sweater, cardigan, scarf, or a very special accessory, this yarn turns every project into a piece you will never want to take off.
I recommend gentle hand washing.
