Silk

Silk filament yarn

This is the only long naturally occurring continuous fiber, because it is the actual yarn expelled by the silkworm when they make cocoons. There are no hairs, the material smooth and feels pleasant against the skin, and is distinguished for its magnificent drape and the way it shines like a pearl.

Spun silk yarn

Byproducts and unraveled cocoon are spun and become spun silk yarn. The softness and elegant sheen of the spun silk sets it apart and the process is comparatively simple, giving it excellent cost performance.

Silk noil yarn

Short fibers generated by the spun silk manufacturing process (10 -30 mm) are re-spun on a special machine. The characteristic of this yarn is silk 100% but having a simple and plain handmade feel.

Mulberry silk

Complete farmed cocoon gently and carefully raised in a house, the external appearance of this silk has a high quality and delicacy, like a beautiful and sheltered maiden.
Mulberry silk glows with a beautiful sheen and the light and darkness of the triangular cross section combine to produce a spectacularly distinguished luster.

Tussah silk

Produced by rare and highly valuable semi-wild silkworms raised in the mountains (seeded by human) tussah silk has the appeal of an outdoor wild feel. The yarn, which has survived a harsh natural environment, is thick and elastic and stands out for their lightness and dry texture.

Cotton

Supima Cotton

HASEGAWA only uses supima cotton, which is a highly rare extra-long cotton that accounts for only 7% of all cotton produced. We pay twice the cost of other companies for raw materials in order to ensure our normally casual silk/cotton blends have an extra-specially luxurious feeling.

Organic Cotton

From the field to the finished product, this cotton is grown with consideration for the effect on the human body and the environment. Chemical processing is not used, producing organic cotton that is gentle on your skin. The product, which is directly imported by HASEGAWA, stands out for its natural smoothness and resilience.

Other

Mohair

HASEGAWA directly imports superfine kid mohair 24 microns from Africa with only from the first fleece of 6 months angora goat.

Cashmere

HASEGAWA directly imports white cashmere from China’s Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, one of the world’s leading cashmere production areas. We carefully select raw cashmere wool with fibers between 15 and 15.5 microns that has been carefully processed to remove all coarse hairs and impurities according to traditional production methods.

Linen
