Extremely warm wool knit hat
We made a thick wool knit cap that will keep you comfortable even in the winter in Itoshiro, a region with heavy snowfall. It was knitted using warm yarn made from the finest merino wool. It's extremely warm, so you can stay comfortable even in the chilly winter. It gently wraps around your head to protect you from the cold. It has a simple ribbed knit that is easy to coordinate with other items.
Available in three natural colors
Available in three colors: white, which can be used as an accent color; gray, which goes well with any outfit; and brown, which matches earth tones. The design is easy to use, so you can enjoy collecting each color.
Premium Merino Wool
This knitted hat was developed using rare "Black Merino" wool, which is only produced in Victoria, Australia, in a few tons per year . The wool is thin, soft, and fluffy. The yarn is as soft as cashmere and delicate, so it is recommended for those who don't like wool. It will not irritate even those with sensitive skin, and will gently wrap around the skin. It is an essential item for the cold winter.
We also make sweaters and socks using the same black merino yarn, so please take a look at those as well.
Black Merino "Undyed Wool Clothes"
■ Production Story
Warm items are essential in the cold Itoshiro area. That's why we developed this Black Merino. We're particular about natural colors, not chemicals, and we've been testing vegetable dyes and other methods to see if we can achieve that with wool. But we discovered that there are already colored sheep out there!
No dyeing is required, so I immediately went to various weavers to find the most eco-friendly way to make the fabric. The knitter is one of the leading knitters in Japan, handling high quality wool . A long-established weaver in Osaka , they have highly skilled techniques and produce high-quality materials that are on par with cashmere.
This colored sheep fabric was made possible because we have a small number of sheep and we are a small brand, so we can only produce small lots.
