The yarn is spun on the Ishikawadai ring spinning machine, Japan's oldest operating spinning machine. The original hanging knit fleece is then dyed with Bengala. The natural unevenness inherent in natural dyes is a key characteristic of this fabric. The hanging knitting machine operates slowly, avoiding unnecessary tension on the yarn and preserving the cottons natural texture. Even after knitting is completed the fabric remains stored under the machine, ensuring that the intrinsic qualities of the cotton are not lost.Made in Japan100% Cotton Sizing Notes This fit a size small.
