Shimo - 80% Mulesing-free Wool / 20% Recycled Silk

ITO Shimo is a beautiful and refined woolen-spun yarn made on a traditional mule spinning system, a time-honored process that gives the yarn its soft hand, depth, and distinctive character. Crafted in Japan from mulesing-free wool and recycled silk, (ITO Kinu) Shimo brings together gentle warmth, subtle texture, and an elegant mélange effect created by blending the fibers before carding. After spinning, the yarn is scoured to enhance its natural bloom, becoming even fuller, softer, and more beautiful with washing.
