ITO Rakuda offers an exquisite blend of high-quality wool and the finest camel hair. The soft underhair of the camel has always been known for its exceptional softness, lightness and fineness and is valued as one of the most precious textile fibers. In combination with wool, it also has an elastic structure that makes it comfortable to wear.
ITO Rakuda not only impresses with its softness, but also with its outstanding warmth properties. The yarn develops its full volume from the first hand wash, so we recommend washing samples before measuring to achieve a precise result. ITO Rakuda offers endless possibilities for sophisticated knitting projects that are not only stylish but also incredibly comfortable.

Hand washing with wool specific soap is recommended. Lay Flat to dry.
The garment should be washed separately. For machine washing, we recommend that all wool garments be washed separately on a wool program, to ensure the gentlest treatment. Centrifuge well and dry the garment flat, preferably on top of a towel. Never use a laundry bag when washing hand-knitted wool garments. This creates friction that can cause the garment to felt.
