1/3.8 WOOJI CLOTH

A light and comfortable yarn born from sugarcane.

This eco-friendly paper yarn is made by upcycling "bagasse," the sugarcane residue that would normally be discarded.

The unique texture is created by slitting thin, soft paper and carefully twisting it.
Its smooth, non-sticky feel and light knitted finish are its charms.

A material that embraces the blessings of nature, perfect for the coming age.


Material Features

Lasting Comfort
Excellent moisture absorption keeps you comfortable even in sweaty seasons, preventing stickiness.

Natural Odor Control
The "lignin" contained in bagasse provides deodorizing and antibacterial effects, a welcome feature for daily use.

Surprisingly Lightweight Finish
Lighter than cotton, offering lightness with less stress even when worn for long periods.

Gentle UV Protection
Plant-derived components absorb UV rays, subtly offering UV protection.

Earth-Friendly Choice
A sustainable material that utilizes unused resources. Biodegradability is also expected, contributing to manufacturing with reduced environmental impact.

・Bags (totes, net bags, etc.)

・Summer tops (vests, camisoles)

It holds its shape well while remaining light, making it perfect for creating items that combine

The key to knitting with industrial yarns!

The second stitch is sweeter! ...Knit loose and fluffy!

Industrial yarns are waxed to make them easier to knit with machines, and they are designed to be washed at the end of the process, so they may have oil or solvents on them.
By washing at the appropriate temperature, dirt is removed and the fibers become fluffy, so the key is to knit a bit loosely (softly).

Be sure to knit a swatch for testing!

Since wool and similar fibers tend to shrink, it's important to knit a swatch and calculate the shrinkage rate.
For items with longer fibers, gently pressing them while washing will enhance the texture.

How to wash industrial yarns at home

1

Iron

First, the finishing iron and steam are applied to the stitch.

2

Pre-washing

Soak in hot water (no detergent) for about 15 minutes at 40°C or less

3

Washing

(detergent wash, neutral detergent Emaar, etc.) Wash as desired, or if you want to fluff out the yarn, wash it with a leftover cloth or other material and rub it to make it fluffier.

4

Rinsing

Change the hot water and rinse until the water is clean.

5

Finishing touches

Use fabric softener if desired. Use of fabric softener will further improve the texture.

6

Dehydration

If using a washing machine, place in a net for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Light towel drying is also acceptable.

7

Dryness

We recommend drying flat in the shade.

8

Steam iron

Organize shapes and stitch nicely.
