KN-21

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 location of companies that create jobs and support self-reliance and return to the home country. Please refer to the article on Hobonichi for more 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 lack of stitching can result in a flat finish, but on the contrary, it 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 rest of the neckline is made in straight lines. 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.
