5G Nep Aran Crew Neck Sweater
This sweater features an Aran pattern and is made from a rough 5-gauge yarn that has been twisted together with nep yarn in various colors to create an accent.
It's thick and warm, and contains a lot of air, so it feels lighter than it looks.
The design is a simple crew neck with cable knitting on the front, sleeves and back.
Size: The chest circumference is a slightly larger standard Japanese size. Due to the thick yarn, there may be individual differences.
We use nep yarn (knotted yarn) to give it a soft texture.
The fuzzy looking balls are just neps (knots) and are a normal part of the fabric's design. Enjoy the natural, soft texture.
*In order to bring out the natural texture of this sweater, it has been knitted using wool that has been spun while retaining the oils that are naturally contained in the wool. Therefore, at first, the smell of the oils may seem like an animal odor.
(If you squeeze the product, you may feel a slight amount of oil. This is natural oil from the wool.)
The smell will naturally fade over time, but if it bothers you, try spreading it out flat and letting it air out in a well-ventilated, shaded area. The smell should go away after a while. (We recommend leaving it in the same position as dried fish.)
The smell caused by oil and grease is a characteristic of the product, so we appreciate your understanding.
※How to wash
We recommend dry cleaning, but unless your jacket is very sweaty or dirty, one dry cleaning before storing it away at the end of the season is sufficient. Generally, remove any food spills or dust, then leave it in a well-ventilated, shaded area for about a day (do not use a hanger) to dry before storing it.

◆ Precautions when taking off a sweater
The knit tension of this garment is adjusted to give it a soft, fluffy, and lightweight feel. Holding the neck and lifting it up to remove it will put too much tension on the sweater and seams, which can cause it to lose its shape or fray. To remove it, cross your arms in front of you, then turn it inside out by holding the hem and lifting it up. |
|
◆ Daily use and care - Wearing it every day can cause moisture to accumulate, which can accelerate wear and tear and make it more susceptible to pilling. -After wearing it for a day, let it rest for at least a full day if possible. - If pilling occurs, do not pull it, but twist it with your fingers and then cut it off with sharp scissors. - To remove wrinkles, place a cloth over the garment and use a steam iron to remove them. - We recommend not cleaning too frequently, but once during the off-season to avoid removing too much of the oil contained in the wool. - If food or drink has been spilled only partially, soak a clean towel in lukewarm water or water, wring it out tightly, place a dry towel underneath, and then use it to pat the stain out from above, then dry thoroughly in the shade. - To remove wrinkles, place a cloth over the garment and use a steam iron to remove them. |

◆ How to wash and store. Because it's made from 100% virgin wool, it's a feast for insects. If you store it as described below, you will be able to wear it comfortably next season. Dry cleaning is recommended. - If washing at home using wool detergent, be sure to wash by hand (rubbing is strictly prohibited), and dry flat in a well-ventilated, shady area so that the garment is like opened dried fish. - Never use a dryer as this may cause shrinkage. - Do not hang up to dry (store) as this will cause the item to stretch and change shape completely. - If you have sent it to the dry cleaners, be sure to remove it from the plastic bag and wait until the smell has disappeared before storing it. To prevent insect damage, it is important to avoid moisture buildup and to take proper measures to prevent insects from getting into the furniture. I hope it will be one of your favorites forever. |
