ITO Gima 8.5 Cotton Yarn (Discontinued)
Sometimes you want your fabric to convey a little more, to have subtle structure, texture, or that unexpected hand feel. ITO Gima 8.5 does just that: a crisp, lace-weight cotton with a flat, paper-like quality that softens beautifully over time, adding dimension and interest to every project.
ITO Gima 8.5 has a unique flat, tape-like structure that gives it a crisp, paper-like texture. While it feels firm initially, it softens with washing and wear, making it an interesting choice for lightweight projects. Its structure adds a modern, slightly structured drape to garments and accessories.
The yarn’s flat, ribbon-like shape creates a fabric with a distinct, airy texture. When used in knitting or crochet, it produces a lightweight and breathable fabric with excellent stitch definition. This makes it ideal for structured garments, summer tops, scarves, and lacework that benefit from a crisp finish.
Yes, ITO Gima 8.5 is an excellent choice for summer wear due to its breathable nature. The cotton fiber and the yarn’s airy structure allow for comfortable, cool garments that drape well. It works especially well for tops, shawls, lightweight cardigans, and accessories designed for warm weather.
