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 from different types of thread, such as polyester thread and wool thread. Some are made into a single thread.
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. Yarn that has been shaped or modified is called "designed yarn."
Unique Japanese technology
Among all types of twisted yarn, fancy twisted yarn requires special techniques, and in fact there are several companies in Japan that have extremely excellent techniques for fancy twisted yarn.
Many fashion brands make clothes from fabrics never seen before, and many of these have the backing of Japan's advanced technology. Special design yarns, which are not usually used in mass-produced goods and require time and money, are the result of pursuing technology unique to Japan, and are a unique know-how that Japan can be proud of.
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 becomes 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.
