“Knittabi” are Tabi-style socks knitted using silk and cotton. By using “silk” for the inner yarn and “cotton” for the outer yarn, a unique knitting structure is achieved. Silk is characterized by being cool in summer and warm in winter throughout the year, providing a smooth wearing experience for the user. They are designed in a Tabi style, with the big toe separated from the other toes, but there are almost no seams as they are knitted with a specialized knitting machine. A wide variety of colors are available, allowing you to choose a color to suit your preferences. KAWATOKUSHOJI Co., Ltd. was founded in 1909 in Nishijin, Kyoto, as a raw yarn wholesaler, and in 2009, it was registered as a “Kyoto’s Long-established Store.” With a long history deeply connected to textiles in Nishijin, the company leverages its knowledge as a yarn dealer to produce products. Particularly, the industrial knit product series “Micro Highness” is used in many manufacturing sites. The company is also advancing the development of products for general consumers, leading to the creation of “Knittabi,” which takes advantage of the benefits of silk. By using silk spun yarn with excellent moisture absorption and release properties for the inner yarn and cotton for the outer yarn, the characteristics of silk are utilized while complementing strength. Different fibres are also dyed in the same colour, providing a wide variety of colour options. Since natural fibers such as silk and cotton are used, they may feel a bit stiff at first, but they gradually fit the shape of your feet, providing a different feel from typical socks. They are also recommended for those troubled by summer humidity or winter cold. Sales began this year, and the crowdfunding campaign reached its target amount, gaining support from many people. Please look forward to the continually evolving “Knittabi,” which incorporates feedback into product development every day.
