Materials & Care

ITO Yarns Kinu is a luxurious lace-weight yarn spun from 100% bourette silk, an environmentally conscious fiber created from the spinning residue of filament silk. Known for its distinctive mélange appearance and matte finish, Kinu offers a refined yet relaxed aesthetic that is both elegant and versatile.

Lightweight and breathable, this silk yarn feels comfortable against the skin and is ideal for warm-weather garments, shawls, wraps, and scarves. It can be worked as a single strand for delicate lace projects or held double to create a more substantial fabric with beautiful drape and texture.

Available in a sophisticated palette of colors, Kinu also pairs exceptionally well with other ITO yarns, including mohair and wool blends, to create unique fabrics with depth and dimension. Combining sustainability, softness, and timeless style, it is a favorite for knitters seeking versatile luxury fibers.
