Cashmere yarn is also made in Japan

We are committed to using the world's top-class raw materials, which are made in Japan

 

What is a "Made in Japan" product? The term "Made in Japan" is used to describe products in which the main and final manufacturing processes are carried out in Japan. Even if the cashmere yarn is spun from a foreign country, if it is manufactured in Japan, it is of course "Made in Japan". Therefore, it is assumed that most yarns made of expensive raw materials such as cashmere are mass-produced in China.

In such a situation, UTO uses yarns spun by Toyobo Yarn Industry and Fukaki Woolen, Japanese cashmere yarn spinning companies, which are certified as Japanese members of CCMI (Cashmere and Camel Hair Association), also known as World Cup members in the world spinning industry, using the world's highest quality raw materials.

Not only is the product made in Japan, but the yarn is also made in Japan.

Moreover, the raw materials used for the yarns are of the same or even higher grade than the world's finest raw materials used by the world's most prestigious brands.

However, the average fiber length is 37 mm and the fiber diameter is less than 15.7 microns for white, extra-first-class fine hair.... Even if we talk about such technical matters, the general public has no idea what we are talking about, and it is not easy for them to understand us. To which rank does UTO cashmere belong: top, medium, or bottom?" I am sometimes asked. I answer, "Of course it is the top, but it is the highest grade even higher. Simply put, it is a world-class raw material." It may sound sarcastic, but it is really difficult to be recognized as the world's top raw material by the general public, even if experts in the field agree.

 

We are proud of the fact that our cashmere knitwear is made from the world's top-class raw materials, using yarns spun by world-class Japanese spinning technology and individually produced by skilled craftsmen in Kitakami, Iwate Prefecture, Japan, so we are absolutely sure that we can compete with the world's famous brands. Recently, Huntsman, a long-established famous store in Saville Row, London, as well as famous stores in the U.S., Australia, and Switzerland, have been handling our products.
