A hand-knit cap in British wool blended with Merino. Knit by hand on manual flat-bed frames at a heritage workshop in Japan, a method nearly extinct in modern mass production.
Our workshop is powered by a generational bridge of experts, ranging from their 30s to their 70s. By combining traditional hand-knitting for complex structural details with manual frame knitting for the body, we spend 20 hours on every single piece. The result is a garment that possesses a human warmth and structural integrity that no computer-controlled machine can replicate.
Kasuri Gradation: This pre-dyed 4-color Kasuri (space-dyed) yarn creates a sophisticated, painterly gradation throughout the knit, ensuring no two pieces are exactly alike. Distinct blue, brown, beige and gray colouring.

• Storage: Due to the natural elasticity and memory of our hand-loomed yarns, the fibers constantly work to return to their original form. To
prevent stretching or distortion, never hang your knitwear. Always store it neatly folded on a flat surface.
• Spot Cleaning: In the event of a localized stain, perform a spot wash on the affected area only. Do not rub the fabric, as friction will damage the
fibers and cause fuzzing. Instead, place a clean towel beneath the garment and gently dab or tap the surface to lift the mark.
• Pilling: Natural wool may develop small pills over time. Never pull these off by hand, as it weakens the yarn. We recommend using a high-quality
fabric shaver or pill comb for a clean finish.
• A Lifetime Piece: With thoughtful handling and proper care, this hand-crafted garment will maintain its integrity and beautiful silhouette for a
lifetime of wear.
