They are often compared to silk in their noble character and have similar properties to silk: Cooling in summer and warming in winter. Washi can be used single stranded lightweight summer garments. For shirts and jackets we recommend Washi double stranded or in combination with other Ito yarns, like \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.tribeyarns.com\/products\/ito-kinu-100-silk-noil-yarn\"\u003eKinu\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.tribeyarns.com\/products\/ito-sensai-silk-mohair\"\u003eSensai\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eITO Washi will completely changes once you knit it, and again when you block it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt first touch, it feels crisp, dry and almost paper-like (unsurprisingly...). But on the needles and especially after washing, Washi transforms into a fabric that is surprisingly soft, cool, light and beautifully wearable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpun from a clever blend of 54% Paper and46% Viscose, this yarn has an incredibly modern feel and a fabric unlike almost anything else in knitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe “paper” element comes from very fine Japanese washi paper, which gives the yarn its signature dry texture, subtle structure and airy lightness. But don’t panic - it won't fall apart in the rain! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fibres are extremely fine and flexible, resulting in garments that feel elegant, breathable and refined. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe yarn has a good stitch definition, so it's great for lace and a clean, architectural quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's super lovely in warmer weather. The fabric feels \u003cstrong\u003ecool against the skin\u003c\/strong\u003e, with lovely drape but also enough body to hold shape beautifully. Perfect for contemporary Summer garments, oversized silhouettes and relaxed textured knits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also has a very distinctive visual quality. Washi creates fabric with a softly matte finish and subtle organic texture that feels sophisticated rather than shiny or overly polished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWashi is so light for its meterage, garments feel almost weightless to wear. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palette is classic ITO: \u003cstrong\u003esophisticated, nuanced and easy to combine\u003c\/strong\u003e across the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWashi is beautiful all on its own for lightweight garments and accessories with structure and drape, but it also \u003cstrong\u003epairs brilliantly\u003c\/strong\u003e with other ITO yarns if you want to experiment with texture, softness and fabric contrast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTake a peek at some of the projects that people have made with Washi \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/yarns\/library\/ito-washi\/projects\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Washi Projects on Ravelry\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e on Ravelry.
