ITO Washi | Paper & Viscose

ITO Washi, Japanese Paper Yarn with a Silky Feel

ITO Washi is one of those yarns you’ll want to hold in your hands before you even pick up your needles. It has an exceptionally silky, lightweight feel and is rooted in the long tradition of Japanese paper yarns.

When knitted, it creates a wonderfully airy fabric with a delicate texture that looks especially beautiful in summer designs and intricate lace patterns.

The twisted viscose thread provides strength and durability, making ITO Washi surprisingly sturdy despite its delicate appearance, and a lovely choice for garments and accessories.

With 22 colors to choose from, you have plenty of options for creating your very own summer palette, from understated and elegant to fresh pops of color.

I recommend gentle hand washing.

Why do you only offer a small selection of yarns?

I carefully select every yarn to make sure it’s a great match for my designs and a joy to knit with. Quality always comes before quantity, so you can be sure that every fiber has been chosen with care.

Are the yarns sustainable?

Yes! Sustainability is very important to me. I only work with manufacturers who offer fair working conditions and value environmentally friendly materials. That way, you can enjoy your knitting with a good feeling.

How do I find the right yarn for my project?

My patterns and kits always specify which yarn works best for the design. And if you’re unsure, I’m happy to help! I want you to enjoy your knitting project from the very first stitch to the very last.

Can I buy the yarns separately?

Of course! Some of the yarns are available individually in my shop, so you can create your project exactly the way you envision it.
