About nitorito
nitorito is a factory brand from Yonezawa, Yamagata, a city famous for its textiles (Yonezawa-ori). The name comes from “knit to ori to”, knit and weave, the two crafts the factory does at a level trusted by luxury brands in Japan and abroad. Every design is inspired by the landscapes of Yonezawa, and only natural fibers such as cotton and wool are used.
Soft, light and just the right size
Generous wool and circular knitting make the stole soft and light, so it never feels heavy around your neck. It is thick enough to wear over your shoulders in early autumn, and large enough to cover you from neck to waist, from autumn to early spring. It also looks lovely draped over a sofa or bed.
Circular jacquard knitting
nitorito’s quality comes from a rare circular jacquard knitting machine, which knits the fabric as a tube. The fabric is then felted, so each stole can be finished with a single cut and no sewing: every nitorito stole has raw, cut edges. It is a technique other makers cannot easily copy, and it allows designs and patterns that no other knitting method can produce.
As a factory brand, nitorito is uncompromising about quality, materials and finish, at a price that would be hard to find elsewhere for the same quality. In place of a luxury label, it carries the Yonezawa-ori tag as proof of quality.
