ITO - Iki - Embroidery Thread - Silk
ITO Iki is a thin, slightly twisted silk thread made in Japan for hand embroidery and applique .
It can also be used as an additional yarn for knitting to achieve a beautiful, bright color in any project, or use multiple yarns together for color effects.
Iki silk has an unsurpassed luster and incomparable softness .
Six strands are bent to achieve a thickness of 1/71 Nm. Very thin lines and shading can be achieved by using a single strand or even by joining multiple strands. Multiple strands are used for thicker lines and to fill areas (usually 2 to 8 strands). Traditionally, several strands are twisted by hand to achieve different textures. It is possible to mix strands of different colors, even to create subtle color transitions. ITO Iki is available in 32 colors.
