KN-09
Wool turtleneck 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 is knitted in a high gauge with a single strand of yarn to maintain warmth and lightness. The raw material is spun by Fukaki Keori, a spinning factory in Senshu, Osaka. The knitting factory is located in Katsurao Village, Fukushima, and was established by Kaneizumi Knit, which has its headquarters and factory in Okazaki, Aichi Prefecture, using the national subsidy for the creation of employment-creating businesses that support self-reliance and return to the home country. Please refer to the article on Hobonichi for more details. The whole garment is made from the yarn in a state where the entire garment is knitted directly from the knitting machine. The whole garment is characterized by the absence of seam allowances, and there are many structural constraints, so the seamlessness can result in a flat finish, but on the contrary, this is a flat sweater that makes use of that characteristic. There is no difference between the front and back, so it can be worn either backwards, the shoulder slope is horizontal, and the sweater is made in straight lines except for the neckline. The neck can be folded over or worn as is. Also, because it is a whole garment, it can be worn inside out if you remove the woven name and quality label that are hand sewn on. Even if the ribs stretch, they will return to their original shape if you run them through a steam iron or water. The material is soft enough to be worn next to the skin, but it is made to be relatively roomy so that you can wear something underneath.
*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.
