Excellent knit that is warm even one piece

YONETOMI NEW BASIC was born from Yonetomi Textile Co., Ltd., a long-established manufacturer that has been working on the technological development of knit textiles since its establishment and has received high praise for its unparalleled quality. Their craftsmanship, which focuses on standard items, does not allow compromises in all aspects of fabrics, manufacturing methods, and comfort in order to create a piece that is convincing to everyone who wears basic items that are close to "new everyday life."BEIGE, which is natural and familiar to the skin, is a color that is easy to incorporate into coordination and is easy to choose.

Benefits of materials and knitting

A simple design that uses the flat texture "Flounder", which is generally used as the back side of single-ridge knitting, on the front side and completely eliminates decorative techniques. The heavy weight is felt because it is knitted to the utmost limit, and the eyes are tightly closed, resulting in high cold protection and durability. It's durable, doesn't lose its shape, and can be washed by hand at home, which is a nice point to wear for a long time.

19.5μ (micron) ultra-fine wool from Italy is woven luxuriously with a middle gauge. By using a number of fine-count threads, such as those used in high-gauge knits, instead of a single thick thread, a silky luster and a moist texture like cashmere are created. It features a smooth feel that does not tingle. It is a knit that is recommended as a single piece because it has a moderate volume, but the smooth surface of the fabric makes it easy to put on a coat or jacket, and on days when it is cold, you can wear it in layers to make it even warmer.

The shadow of the ribs and the line of the round neck have a beautiful silhouette even when worn, and since it is a classic design that is not influenced by fashion, it is easy to match with your own clothes, and it will be 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 advanced knit textile development technology.

From material development to product development and mass production, we are consistently doing everything at our own factory in Yamanobe Town. 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 published the manufacturing method of the summer sweater he created in the production area. It is said 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 have created 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.
