ITO is the Japanese word for yarn. ITO Yarn & Design stands for fine and distinctive yarns from Japan, a country with a long and vibrant textile tradition. They are produced in small, family-run workshops and emerge from a close connection between inherited craftsmanship and contemporary technology. Our ITO yarn portfolio is defined by special production methods, exceptional material compositions, and a remarkable range of colours. Every yarn is carefully selected by us, each palette thoughtfully coordinated, and the collection conceived as one coherent system. Each yarn is spun and dyed individually using the method best suited to its fibre, structure, and character.
