Okuyama Meriyasu is a distinguished knit factory
that has produced knitwear for many renowned fashion houses
and talented brands, garnering high praise for its textile quality.

 

This season, the High Twist Series,
one of BATONER's masterpieces,
has been delivered with great anticipation.

 

This season's High Twist Series
features an entirely new level of quality,
making it a must-have, top-notch item.

 

Let's take a look at the appeal of this season's
High Twist Series.

 

① Amazing ultra-high twist merino wool

The most remarkable aspect of this season's High Twist Series
is the luxurious use of 100% ultra-high twist yarn
made from merino wool.

By using a large amount of 100% wool high twist yarn
and knitting it tightly on a special sinker knitting machine,
it offers several advantages.

 

② Dry touch that is hard to believe it's wool

By tightly twisting the fibers into yarn,
a firm texture is achieved,
and by using a lot of it and knitting it densely,
it creates a very dry feel with no fluff.

The extremely crisp and dry touch is so surprising
that you might forget it's even wool.

Merino wool is not only excellent for warmth
but also for its quick-drying and moisture-absorbing properties.

By making such a material dry to the touch,
it allows you to wear it warmly,
and even if you get too hot and sweat,
it instantly provides comfortable wear,
fully leveraging the benefits of merino wool.

 

③ Refined and elegant texture

By suppressing the fluffy and fuzzy feel typical of knitwear
and using a delicate rib knit,
it creates a refined and elegant look.

It has a refined texture that is the antithesis of knitwear
with a warm and rustic "character,"
elevating it to a clean knit that suits any styling taste.

Since the material also has the characteristic of being resistant to losing its shape,
it maintains its refined look without becoming misshapen over time,
which is also a charming feature.

 

④ Pilling resistant

Due to reduced fluffing,
fiber entanglement is minimized,
making it pilling resistant, which is another notable point.

Pilling occurs when wool cuticles intertwine,
but this material eliminates such stress,
minimizing the effort required for care,
which is truly delightful.

 

⑤ Hand washable

Despite being 100% wool,
the ability to hand wash it in water
is a very attractive feature.

Thanks to the material's pilling resistance
and its tough, densely knitted construction,
you can wear it daily without worrying about stains.

 

⑥ Satisfying comfort with a mid-weight feel

While it is a very high-quality knit material,
by lavishly using a large amount of this high-twist merino wool
and knitting it to a mid-weight,
it achieves a comfortably reliable thickness.

By knitting ultra-high twist yarn into a mid-weight to add thickness,
it completely avoids any cheap or unreliable feel,
and its dense knit further enhances its resistance to losing shape.

Furthermore,
it looks great worn on its own,
and it is also excellent for layering under coats or other outerwear.

 

We've reviewed the appeal of the High Twist Series,
Don't miss out on the High Twist Series,
which allows you to experience BATONER's high quality even more profoundly.
