YONETOMI NEW BASIC does not allow any compromise in fabrics, manufacturing methods, and comfort in order to create basic items that will accompany you in your "new daily life" and satisfy everyone who wears them. YONETOMI NEW BASIC introduces a wool knit cardigan HIGH TWIST WOOL KNIT C/D. The soft and captivating texture and warmth created by the material is so gentle and comfortable that it will make your heart warm.

Lightweight comfort and appearance created by manufacturing methods and materials

Wool knit cardigan HIGH TWIST WOOL KNIT C/D is a high gauge knit. The high-twist finish of the shrink-proofed wool reduces the prickliness characteristic of wool, leading to ease of handling and wearing. The knit is neither too thick nor too thin, so it can be used from early fall to spring when the weather turns chilly, and its modest volume allows you to wear it both inside and out. The V-neck design is easy to layer, and if you button up the buttons, you can see the inner lining beautifully and neatly. The plain knit and simple silhouette makes the best use of the material, and it is a piece that can be easily matched with your existing clothes and be used for a long time to come.
The wool has excellent moisture absorbency and desorbency, and it also has natural functions such as deodorizing, etc. It can be hand-washed at home, so there is no need to take it to the cleaners.

All of the colors are beautiful and perfect for fall and winter outfits, making them an easy choice for coordination. This is a cardigan you will want to wear forever, feeling the careful knitting.

From Yamagata, the birthplace of knitwear

The textile industry developed in the town of Sugabe-cho, Yamagata Prefecture, because many farmers raised silkworms and the government encouraged sheep raising as a sideline industry in farming villages, so that each household spun yarn to make a living. At one time, there were many knit manufacturers in the area, but the number of factories has been decreasing due to the increase in overseas production. In the midst of this situation, Yonetomi Textile Co., Ltd. was established in 1952 and has continued to knit sweaters while honing its advanced knit textile development technology.

The company has been consistently engaged in everything from material development to product development and mass production at its own factory in Yamanobe-cho. We have been developing various textiles day by day. With a total of 43 fully automatic flat knitting machines, the company boasts the best production system in Japan and one of the best in the world, specializing in low gauge.

The founder, after two years of trial and error to overturn the common belief that "knitwear cannot be worn in summer," made the process of producing summer sweaters public within the production area. It is said to have brought about a great transformation. Even today, they continue to search for ways to express themselves without resting on their laurels of history and tradition. YONETOMI NEW BASIC is a knitwear project that pursues basics by making full use of the development technologies accumulated by such a manufacturer over the years. Aiming to "knit out of commonplace things a unique individuality that cannot be found anywhere else," YONETOMI NEW BASIC produces basics that accompany "new daily life" with thoughtful details and casual arrangements that are possible only at a factory.
