ITO Yarns brings together fine, distinctive yarns from small, high end mills in Japan, blending a rich textile heritage with a beautifully modern, design-led aesthetic.

Known for their refined textures, elegant colour palettes and unusual fibre combinations, ITO yarns are perfect for knitters and makers who love creating fabric with depth, drape and character.

One of our fav aspects of ITO Yarns is how beautifully the different bases work together. Hold a yarn double or combined with another yarn to create unique texture, softness and visual interest  with the best of all worlds. Super exciting for adventurous knitters and anyone who loves to experiment.

From the softest silk mohair ever (Sensai) and crisp plant-based blends to softly structured wool and silk yarns, ITO yarns offer a whole world of inspiring possibilities. 

At Tribe Yarns, we love ITO for its high-end, thoughtful construction, fresh contemporary feel and uncompromising luxurious finish. The best of Japanese yarns for knitting, crochet and weaving.

ITO translates simply as “yarn” in Japanese. The brand combines traditional Japanese sensibility with innovation, resulting in yarns that feel both timeless and strikingly modern. 

We love the fact that the colour palette is subtle, sophisticated and beautifully nuanced, with shades that sit effortlessly together. But with mandatory pops for some edginess that never goes out of fashion, ITO don't change up their colours every single season like some brands - their colours are designed to keep your creations stylish forever. 

Our curated ITO Yarns collection at Tribe includes some of the most exciting yarns for contemporary garment knitting, textured accessories and artistic weaving. If you’re looking for yarns with a refined hand-feel, a unique fabric outcome and a distinctly modern edge, ITO is your man.
