Merino Wool Gloves

Nishiguchi Kutsushita selected merino wool manufactured exclusively from sheep bred in the Mount Cook region of New Zealand’s southern island. What’s special about this wool is that it is extremely fine, making it comparable to cashmere. These gloves have the fluffiness, softness and silky feel of cashmere without the high price tag.

Made in Japan

Please note: the Mocha Brown color is best represented in the group photo of all the colors together. The individual product photo looks much more grey than the actual gloves.

Materials : 96% merino wool, 4% nylon

Hand wash or machine wash cold, gentle cycle. Use a mesh delicates bag to reduce friction and prolong the life of your socks. Hang or lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry (wool will felt).

Nishiguchi Kutsushita is one of three brand names produced and sold by Knitwin, a family owned sock manufacturing company in Nara, Japan.

Knitwin was founded by Katsuji Nishiguchi in 1950 with just one hand-operated knitting machine. Now operating under third generation director Isato Nishiguchi, Knitwin has evolved and expanded into a sock manufacturing company housing over 130 knitting machines. Their team consists of industry veterans with over 50 years of experience, as well as new generation talents in their 30s.

Their mission is "making your day extraordinary," which they accomplish with their incredible attention to every detail of their socks, from design to materials to manufacturing. They make the best socks I have ever owned, and I'm a big sock nerd.
