A crew neck sweatshirt with a moderately loose, relaxed fit.
The minimalist knit and design give it an elegant and modern look that can be easily matched with any outfit.
In addition, by using SUPER ZERO yarn and packing it as tightly as possible, it has a very beautiful texture, while also providing a moderate sense of relaxation and a comfortable feel against the skin.
This knitwear was made at a knitwear factory in Yamagata Prefecture using three strands of 30/2 SUPER ZERO yarn, knitted at a maximum density of 10G.
Despite being tightly woven to the maximum extent possible, by using SUPER ZERO yarn, the finished product is untwisted, resulting in a knit with almost no twist in the yarn.
Therefore, compared to ordinary knitwear, the knitted fabric is not stiff even though it is tightly woven; it is soft while retaining the firmness that comes from being tightly woven, and it contains more air, making it light and fluffy.
Another characteristic of the texture is the dry feel reminiscent of vintage items, which is achieved by boiling the yarn for a long time at high temperature during the untwisting process.
This texture is obtained as a by-product of the degreasing process.
With each wear and wash, the untwisted yarn will loosen further, allowing you to enjoy the vintage-like aging process.
What is SUPER ZERO yarn? Left-twisted cotton yarn and water-soluble yarn are combined and then strongly twisted in the opposite direction. After weaving, when it is treated with hot water, only the water-soluble yarn dissolves.
As the water-soluble thread dissolves, the cotton thread tries to return to its original direction, causing it to expand significantly.
Air penetrates into the gaps between the open cotton yarns, creating a yarn that is highly absorbent and maintains a fluffy texture.
