TWISTING
The unique texture that only a rare vintage
draw texturizing machine can deliver.
By using a low-speed draw texturizing machine, the yarn are slowly twisted and untwisted while being heated carefully, resulting in a highly crimped yarn that have a fluffy texture, elasticity, and stretchiness. It features a unique texture that only rare vintage machines - now handled by very few people - can produce, and is widely used not only for clothing but also for luxury car seats and other items.

COVERING
PROCESS
Stable supply of materials
Securement of large-scale mills
The covering process refers a process in which a sheath thread is wrapped around a core thread to make two yarn into one. The core thread is made of polyurethane stretching like rubber and covered with polyester or nylon to produce the thread. As polyurethane cannot be dyed, the covering process makes it possible to produce thread that is dyeable and highly elastic. Not only skilled techniques and knowledge, but also the earnest dedication of artisans to their craftsmanship are fully utilized in this process.
