If the ITO item you want is on backorder, please be advised that there is a wait time of approximately 10 weeks before it gets shipped. Please note that this is a general estimate, and unexpected production and delivery delays can occur.
What is the texture of ITO Gima 8.5 yarn?
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.
How does the unique structure of Gima 8.5 affect finished projects?
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.
Is ITO Gima 8.5 suitable for summer garments?
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.
How does Gima 8.5 behave when knitted or crocheted?
This yarn can be worked in a single strand for a fine, delicate fabric or held double for a denser effect. The tape-like shape can create a slightly stiff fabric initially, but it relaxes with washing. It holds shape well, making it ideal for projects requiring a structured look.
What needle size is recommended for ITO Gima 8.5?
The recommended needle size for ITO Gima 8.5 is 2.0 mm (US 0), though the gauge may vary depending on the desired fabric. For looser, more open textures, larger needles or hooks can be used. Swatching before starting a project is always recommended to achieve the desired drape.
How should I care for items made with Gima 8.5?
Hand washing in lukewarm water with a mild detergent is recommended to maintain the yarn’s quality and prevent excessive wear. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric. Lay items flat to dry, shaping them as needed. This care routine helps preserve the unique structure and longevity of the yarn.
What is the yardage per 25g ball of Gima 8.5?
Each 25g ball contains approximately 212 meters (231 yards) of yarn. This generous yardage makes it a cost-effective choice for lightweight garments and accessories, as a few balls can go a long way in creating a finished piece.
