Material:
This product uses 100% New Zealand merino wool fabric. The use of New Zealand merino wool is proof that it is "non-mulling wool". New Zealand has banned "mulesing", a cruel way to cut the skin and flesh of the buttocks in a lamb to prevent the infestation of maggots on the sheep, from October 2018. Using New Zealand Merino means using wool raw materials that are suitable for animal protection.

Shrink-proof processing is applied over several steps to prevent the fabric from shrinking after washing as much as possible.
Even so, as long as it is a natural fiber, some shrinkage and skewing will inevitably occur. Please refer to the following care methods so that you can use the product for a longer period of time.
・ Please use wool detergent for washing.
・ Put the product inside out and put it in the laundry net, and wash it by itself.
・ The water temperature is limited to 40 ℃, and please avoid washing with boiling water.
・ Avoid strong water currents, you may hand wash or choose the "dry course" or "weak water flow
course" when using a washing machine .
・ Never tumble dry.
・ After dehydration, we recommend that you shape it and dry it in the shade.
・ If you do not wear it for a long time, keep it clean and store it with an insect repellent.

Design:
Although it is a beanie with a simple design, Yusuke San made it with some attention to ease of wearing and durability. Instead of a fluffy beanie, Yusuke San aimed for a durable beanie that can be worn for a long time.

The knitting method is Kata Azeami(片畦編). The feature is that the eyes are tightly clogged with a knitting method like the cuffs of a knit. Since the eyes are clogged, a lot of yarn is used for that amount, which increases the cost and makes it heavier, which is also a disadvantage.

The fineness of knitting is changed for each of the head and forehead.As a result, the head part is moderately relaxed. The forehead, which tends to loosen while being covered, is finely knitted so that it is firmly tightened. As you can see in the image, the part corresponding to the forehead is shrunk.

Furthermore, a special stretch-preventing thread is woven inside the tip of the cover (pink part), which tends to stretch the most during use. Prevents the cover from becoming loose.

Change the folding width of the part you want to wear to what your like, and wear it deeply or shallowly.

There is a linking in the center of the back. Please use it as a guide for checking before and after wearing.
