Tough and comfortable cotton knit

YONETOMI NEW BASIC cotton knit WAVE COTTON KNIT P / O with an attractive vintage-like look. By knitting with the highest density, the fabric itself has elasticity while retaining the elasticity of the knit, and it is also more durable. It's a moderately thick fabric, so you can use it from the top of your shirt or as an inner jacket or coat. This cotton knit is for those who like Japanese manufacturing, those who are looking for something comfortable from the beginning, and those who are looking for a knit that can be worn for a long time without hesitation.

Create with Japanese technology

As a knit factory, Yonetomi Textile Co., Ltd. has been working on the technological development of knit textiles since its establishment, and working on manufacturing with quality that is unprecedented in the world. YONETOMI NEW BASIC was launched by such a long-established manufacturer as a knit project to develop basic items that are close to "new everyday life".

Cotton Knit WAVE COTTON KNIT P / O is made of 100% cotton knit fabric made from yarn by Yonetomi Fiber, and has the softness and durability unique to knit. What we are using is a wavy thread that is made by twisting thin cotton threads strongly. By further closing the eyes and knitting this thread firmly, it is finished in a tough fabric feeling that is different from the fluffy feeling like a knit. If you look closely, it is a dry touch fabric with unevenness, it is not sticky when it touches the skin, it is refreshing and comfortable to wear, so it seems to be the first place to appear in many opportunities in the year.
Also, being strong in washing is a nice point for everyday wear. Since it is washed at the stage of the fabric, you can wash it at home without shrinking significantly even though it is knit. In addition to being supple and soft from the beginning, the knit material has elasticity in the lateral direction, which makes it a nice point to fit your body well.

The slightly loose body and the crisp cuffs are attractive. The shape is not too over, so it goes well with a slender bottom and a flared skirt with a wide spread, and it matches any coordination. Because it is a classic design that is not influenced by fashion, it is easy to match with your own clothes, and it is a piece that you can use habitually for a long time.

From Yamagata, the production center of knitwear

In Yamagata Prefecture, many farmers kept silk moths, and the government encouraged the raising of sheep as a side business in rural areas, so each household made a living by spinning yarn. Area where industry has developed. There were many knitwear makers at one time, but it seems that overseas production has increased and the number of factories has decreased. Under such circumstances, Yonetomi Textile Co., Ltd., which was founded in 1952, has continued to knit sweaters while sharpening the development technology of advanced knit textiles.

From material development to product development and mass production, we are consistently doing it at our own factory in Yamanobe Town, and if we hear that there is a new material, we will take it ahead of time, actively strive to create new products, and create good things in a good environment. We introduced the first knitting computer and developed various textiles every day because we wanted to produce it in a fun and bright way. With a total of 43 fully automatic flat knitting machines, we are proud of our production system specializing in low gauge, which is the best in Japan and one in the world.

The founder repeated trial and error to overturn the dogma that "knits can't be worn in the summer", and after two years, he said that he disclosed the manufacturing method of the summer sweater he created in the production area. It seems that the knitting industry, which was limited to winter and operated only for half a year, will be able to operate throughout the year, which will bring about a big change. Even now, I continue to search for ways of expression without compromising on history and tradition. YONETOMI NEW BASIC is a knit project in which such a manufacturer pursues basics by making full use of the development technology accumulated over many years. With the aim of "creating a unique personality from the mundane," we are creating a basic that is close to the "new daily life" with the addition of nifty details and casual arrangements that are possible only at the factory.
