KN-02
Wool sweater
The yarn is made from ultra-fine merino wool with an average fineness of 15.5 microns from Uruguay in South America. It is smooth yet bulky, with a texture similar to cashmere, and by using two strands of yarn, it is a mid-gauge knit with moderate volume. The raw material is spun by Fukaki Keori, a spinning factory in Senshu, Osaka. The knitting factory is located in Katsurao Village, Fukushima, and Kaneizumi Knit, which has its headquarters and factory in Okazaki, Aichi Prefecture, was established using the national subsidy for the creation of employment companies that support self-reliance and return to the home country. Please refer to the article on Hobonichi for details. It is made using a machine that knits directly from the yarn in a whole garment state. The whole garment is characterized by the absence of seam allowances, and there are many structural constraints, so the seamless nature of the sweater can result in a flat finish, but on the contrary, this sweater makes use of this characteristic to create a flat look. The shoulder slope is horizontal, and the rest of the neckline is made of straight lines. Even if the ribs stretch, they will return to their original shape if you run a steam iron or run water through them.
*After wearing, gently brush the fur to straighten it out and prevent pilling. If pilling does occur, cut it off with small scissors without pulling it out. We are also available to provide advice on care at any time.
*When washing, use detergent for dry cleaning and wash by hand in lukewarm water at 30°C or use the cleaning cycle of the washing machine. Please refrain from washing with strong force as it may cause shrinkage. When storing, please use insect repellent and dehumidifier.
