ITO Sensai

ITO Sensai Silk Mohair Yarn

Japanese silk mohair blend Sensai from ITO Yarn is a delicate lace weight yarn for shawls, garments and accessories. Silk adds elegance and sheen to the yarn and mohair makes it light and fluffy.

Try knitting ITO Sensai with other yarns such as Kinu (bourette silk) or wool yarn of any weight, when you want to add fluffiness and drape to the garment.

ITO Sensai silk mohair yarn comes in cute little 20-gram 240m balls perfect for small accessories and colorwork. A ball is enough for a small cowl, you need 2-4 balls to a shawl and 4-6 balls for a garment.

Sensai silk mohair is a great substitute to lace weight silk mohair in many popular patterns, for example:
