Slit processing

The thread is cut into thin pieces according to the thread count to be manufactured.

Twisting process

Slit paper is twisted together to produce light and functional paper thread.

Fiber characteristics

Excellent water absorption and quick drying properties

It has the water absorption and quick drying characteristics of paper.

Lightness

The weight is about half that of cotton yarn, giving it a very light finish.

High deodorizing and antibacterial effect

The lignin contained in bagasse also has a strong deodorizing and antibacterial effect.

＊Inspection conducted by Japanese inspection agency "Japan Textile Products Quality Technology Center"
