This is an environmentally friendly dye that extracts the color from the bark, which is normally discarded during the wood processing process.

In addition, by combining it with wool, which has excellent heat retention, moisture absorption, and moisture release properties, it not only keeps you warm, but even when it absorbs sweat and other moisture, the parts that come into contact with your skin do not become sticky, making it comfortable to wear. It won’t feel prickly even if you wear it for a long time, and the high-quality silk and wool will get fluffier every time you wash it.
