ITO Shimo

ITO Shimo

Colour

ITO Shimo - A soft, airy yarn with quiet depth and character.

ITO Shimo is a beautifully textured yarn, spun using a traditional carriage spinning system - an older method known for producing yarns with exceptional lightness and loft.

Made from mulesing-free merino wool from Uruguay and blended with recycled silk, Shimo carries a gentle mélange effect that adds subtle variation and interest to your stitches. The fibres are carded before spinning, giving the yarn its softly rustic feel while still remaining comfortable against the skin.

It’s the kind of yarn that doesn’t try too hard - but reveals more the longer you work with it. After washing, Shimo blooms and softens further, settling into a fabric that feels natural, lived-in, and quietly beautiful.
