Octa® x Wool "ROAR" series born
At STATIC, we focused on this design yarn twisting technology, twisting wool into hollow Octa® yarn and then filing the wool alone to raise it. This resulted in the creation of a unique yarn called "AYUKAN," which combines the lightness of Octa® yarn with the volume and warmth of raised wool.
We then used this yarn to create a knitted product using the WHOLEGARMENT method, where the entire garment is knitted. With WHOLEGARMENT, clothing is knitted directly from the yarn. Normally, when cutting T-shirts or fleece fabric, about 20-30% of the fabric is wasted and becomes unusable and ends up as cutting waste (*). However, when knitting an entire garment using the WHOLEGARMENT method, only about 6g of yarn waste is generated, making it an eco-friendly manufacturing method with a waste rate of less than 5%.
*At STATIC, we do not throw away cutting waste, but instead work to recycle it and turn it back into thread.
Twisted yarn is yarn made by twisting multiple threads together. There are hollow hand-knitted threads made from one type of thread, and threads made by twisting different types of threads together, such as polyester and wool.
In addition, the hardness and strength of the twisted yarn changes depending on the number of times it is twisted, so it is a highly skilled technique to finely adjust the twist while imagining the final product, and to complete the twisted yarn through repeated trials. Furthermore, twisted yarn that has been brushed or processed into a special shape or other special treatment is called "designed twisted yarn."
