Left Field NYC White super slub heavyweight loop wheel (Tsuri Knit) tee

About this product

The TSURI Knitting machines are rare and over 100 years old. They are only in Wakayama prefecture, Japan. Its production has already ceased, so if it breaks we have to take from a parts machine to fix it. It’s quite delicate to maintenance compared to other machines. Therefore the manager and craftsmen of the knitting mill constantly check the progress of the knitting.

The name of the 'TSURI' knitting machine comes from the very unique knitting way of hanging and rounding the machines while knitting. It takes one hour for knitting only one meter, however the TSURI knitting machines knit fabrics slowly and carefully including air in each stitch of the fabric to ensure perfect size. As a result, there will be no needless applied yarn. The knitted fabrics will bring comfort and a pleasant feeling to wear. Furthermore, if it was washed it may be more fit to your body.

In order to add no tension on yarn, we care about the needles details. The bearded needles on the TSURI Knitting Machine are made of a round steel, shaped into a particular type of hook. The round needles will not impair the yarn and are less affected by friction. Nowadays bearded needles are very rare and only made in Germany. Knitted fabrics by the TSURI knitting machines allow the fabrics to full freely unlike the newer machines that pull and roll, therefore the fabrics are fluffy and soft because of no tension.

Our fabrics are a combination of experienced artisans’ skill and the traditional Japanese technique, we call 'SLOW VINTAGE'. We are proud of it as the very best quality. This is a heavy weight 12 oz super slub that is extremely soft and breathable, this is not just another LoopWheel Tee(Tsuri Knit) this is the best LoopWheel Tee and of substantial weight and character.
