ITO Iki is a fine filament silk thread for hand embroidery, made of mulberry silk that has an unrivalled sheen and distinct suppleness.
In these threads, silk filaments are loosely plied to a thickness of 1/71 NM or 21/6 Tram. You can use a single thread or even splice the thread to achieve very fine embroidery lines and silk shading effects. If you are aiming to create stronger lines or fill areas, you are recommended to use multiple threads, usually 2 to 8 strands.
Multiple strands are traditionally twisted by hand to give a varied texture. Threads of different colours can also be mixed to achieve delicate colour transitions.
ITO Iki is available in 32 colours.

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 type of silk is used in ITO Iki embroidery thread?
ITO Iki is made from 100% mulberry silk, the highest-grade silk fiber. Mulberry silk is prized for its incredible sheen, strength, and smooth texture, making it perfect for fine embroidery and embellishments.
How does ITO Iki's filament silk differ from spun silk?
Filament silk refers to the long, continuous fibres reeled directly from the silkworm cocoon, known for its sheen and strength. Spun silk, on the other hand, is made by gathering and twisting together short silk fibres, often from waste silk like broken cocoons or floss, resulting in a softer, matte finish and a slightly weaker thread.
Can I use ITO Iki silk thread for knitting projects?
Yes, ITO Iki can be used as a carry-along thread in knitting projects to add a subtle sheen and luxurious texture. It works well when combined with wool or cotton yarns for lightweight garments and accessories.
What is the thickness of ITO Iki silk thread?
ITO Iki has a thickness of 1/71 NM or 21/6 Tram, meaning it is a very fine embroidery thread composed of six loosely plied filaments. This construction gives it a smooth and slightly textured finish, ideal for delicate embroidery work. Multiple threads are used for stronger lines and filling areas (usually 2-8 strands).
How should I care for items embroidered with ITO Iki silk thread?
Hand wash embroidered items in cool water using a mild detergent. Avoid excessive rubbing or wringing to prevent fiber damage. Lay flat to dry and store away from direct sunlight to preserve the silk’s vibrant color and sheen.
Is ITO Iki silk thread suitable for beginners in embroidery?
Filament silk can be slippery and delicate, making it slightly challenging for beginners. However, with practice and proper handling techniques, beginners can achieve stunning results. Using short lengths of thread and gentle tension helps prevent fraying.
Can I dye ITO Iki silk thread to achieve custom colors?
ITO Iki silk is available in 32 pre-dyed shades. While it can be dyed, blending different colored strands while stitching is a more effective way to create subtle color variations without the need for additional dyeing.
What needle size is recommended for use with ITO Iki silk thread?
A fine embroidery needle, such as size 10 or 12, is recommended to accommodate the delicate nature of the silk thread. A needle with a sharp tip allows for precise stitching without damaging the silk fibers.
How does ITO Iki silk thread compare to cotton embroidery floss?
ITO Iki silk offers a significantly higher sheen and smoother texture compared to cotton floss. It provides a more elegant and luxurious finish, ideal for detailed embroidery, embellishments, and heirloom-quality work.
Can I use ITO Iki silk thread for machine embroidery?
ITO Iki is primarily designed for hand embroidery. While it may be used in machine embroidery, adjustments in tension and stitch settings are necessary to accommodate its delicate and slippery nature. Testing on scrap fabric is recommended.
