I tried to make a product using recycled cotton, which was created using a technique called "anti-hair". Anti-hair is a technique to return clothes, threads, cloth, etc. that are no longer used to the state of fibers. This time, we will ask for the anti-hair from "Tosaka Anti-hair" in Aichi Prefecture. It was founded in 1971, and has been involved in recycling since the period of high economic growth. Impurities such as stitch threads and name tags can get into even 100% cotton clothes, so Tosaka Tange uses leftover threads and fabrics from spinning factories and fabric shops, as well as cutting scraps from sewing factories. increase. Even so, there is a possibility that impurities will be mixed in, so it seems that the finished cotton will be inspected for each turn. First, the raw material is roughly cut with a cutting machine, and water containing oil is sprinkled on the cut edges. This is to prevent neps when made into thread and to prevent the risk of fire due to heat. It is a process that cannot be done without the craftsmanship of changing how much water is added depending on the temperature and weather at that time. It is finally the anti-hair, and the fibers are gradually fined while passing through 5 anti-hair machines with different sizes of teeth to scratch the fibers. As the teeth get smaller and smaller, the fibers become finer. The recycled cotton made in this way was mixed with Indian organic cotton at a rate of 50% at "Asahi Boseki" in Sennan City, Osaka, and spun into yarn. Reclaimed fibers have short fiber lengths and must be mixed with virgin cotton to increase strength. The "anti-fleece lining sweatshirt" made from this yarn is a vintage-like sweatshirt that makes the most of the rough texture of recycled cotton. The sleeves are embroidered with seahorses in the shape of Sunny clouds' "S".
