UTILITEES - 5.5oz Loopwheel Crew Neck T-Shirt - Hand Dyed Yellow
Knitted in Wakayama on 1980’s loopwheel machines, the 5.5oz Loopwheel Crew Neck T-Shirt from UTILITEES is 100% combed yarn cotton and offers a soft and comfortable feel.
The hand-dyeing process itself is extensive and time-consuming. Firstly a plain white T-shirt is submerged into a vat of pigment dye and gently rubbed by hand to disperse the colour evenly. T-shirts are dyed individually, with each taking around 10 minutes. The garment is then left to dry naturally, before repeating these steps to ensure a strong colour.
Whilst maybe not as vivid or vibrant as some industrial dying techniques, the resulting colour offers a very pleasing hue, displaying slight contrasts in tone and subtle marbling throughout the garment. Creating these unique colourways really is a labour of love — no two T-shirts will ever look exactly the same, and we think that's a good thing!
