Care instructions and precautions
To increase the strength of the yarn, virgin wool (treated with non-chlorine resin to prevent shrinkage) is mixed in and twisted into yarn again. This allows us to spin new yarns that are a mix of recycled and virgin fibers, and then turn them into products.
The manufacturing process for this product is different from that of regular products, as follows:
・Management of cut pieces by changing the usual routine (disposal) in sewing factories ・Time-consuming factory work to separate cut pieces and remove waste ・Shrink-proofing virgin yarn ・Yarn spinning from recycled and virgin fibers ・Whole garment manufacturing
Although there are difficulties inherent in recycling, it is a technique that has been cultivated in Bishu for a long time, and we cannot afford not to utilize it.
Furthermore, by knitting this yarn into knitted products rather than weaving it, we are able to reduce waste by not producing any new cutting material.
This is a RE:WOOL product that STATIC is committed to as part of their initiative to create "apparel that doesn't get thrown away."
