UTO's CASHMERE KNIT

 

Commitment to Cashmere

 

Only the best materials can create the best products
Materials must be eco-friendly

 

UTO's cashmere knits are made from the highest quality cashmere yarn, created from "world-class raw materials" and "Japan's finest technology."

We use "Grade 1 cashmere raw materials" harvested in Inner Mongolia, China. These are extremely rare raw materials, carefully selected for fiber length, fineness, color, and crimp. This raw material is dyed and spun into cashmere yarn by Toyoboshi Kogyo, a global spinning company, using advanced technology.

The 100% Japanese-made cashmere yarn created in this way is what underpins the quality of UTO's cashmere knits.

 

 

 

Our Commitment to "Made in Japan"

 

Not Mass Production, but Careful Craftsmanship "One Piece at a Time by Hand"
Delivering the "Warmth of the Artisan's Hands" Woven into Each Piece

 

A unique factory that only makes cashmere all year round.
"UTO Cashmere Knit" is born from a factory surrounded by nature, located on a hill overlooking the Waga River, a tributary of the Kitakami River in Iwate Prefecture.

It's not just one piece out of hundreds or thousands that goes to you.

"Linking Seaming" that affects comfort
"Iron Finishing" that enhances the beauty of knitwear

The meticulous cashmere artisans of Tohoku, who value "quality born from handwork," spare no effort to carefully create "a piece just for you."

 

 

After the fulling process (washing), UTO uses only "natural drying" for all products.

Usually, a dryer is used to dry products quickly, but natural drying takes time and effort. Nevertheless, UTO believes that meticulously handling cashmere "as gently and carefully as a baby" even during the final "drying" process, is essential for creating the best cashmere, as it is dedicated to ensuring outstanding texture and quality.

 

 

 

Our Commitment to Color

 

Deep, Luminous Cashmere Colors Achieved Through Blended Hues

 

UTO's cashmere knits employ "yarn dyeing" for long-lasting color enjoyment and "low-temperature dyeing" to preserve their soft texture.

Yarn dyeing, though the most labor-intensive and costly method, reflects our unwavering commitment to color. Furthermore, low-temperature dyeing, which involves slow dyeing at low temperatures, is an advanced technique that brings out uniform colors and the inherent smooth texture of cashmere.

For example, "Royal Blue" is created by blending five different colored fibers, and "Medium Grey" is a exquisite combination of black, white, light beige, and light purple. By blending five to ten different colored fibers in this way, we achieve beautiful colors with depth and richness.

 

 

Washable, "Growing" Cashmere

 

Cashmere that grows with you,
for as long as you spend together.

 

"It won't shrink even after washing" - a cashmere knit that is the result of many years of research and technology, designed to be easily and safely washed at home.
It's UTO's "growing cashmere knit," which becomes softer and smoother with each wash and wear.

Please enjoy the unique characteristics of this natural material and the luxurious time created by its aging process.

 

 

 

Aftercare

 

Our reliable aftercare ensures
your items can be enjoyed for years to come.

 

What if your knitwear gets snagged, or moth-eaten, and a thread breaks?

With the hope that you can "use your knitwear with care for a long time," we offer "aftercare (repairs)" even after delivery.

You can use our products with peace of mind, keeping them in beautiful condition for a long time.

 

 

 

By Your Side for 10, 20 Years, and Beyond

 

From the raw wool, spinning, and dyeing processes, artisans from various fields pour their time and effort into creating "a single cashmere thread."

Finally, UTO's cashmere artisans carefully and painstakingly knit each piece, creating "a one-of-a-kind" UTO cashmere knit.

Because we want you to cherish and love using it for a long time.

Not one in thousands or tens of thousands, but "an irreplaceable piece," "a supreme piece that warms both body and soul,"

for you.
