Paper Yarn OJO+
Natural fiber made from Washi

Known as “Shosenshi”, paper yarn has older history than hemp or cotton in Japan. Although having excellent quality, paper yarn was hard to mass-produce and expensive. Oji Fiber applied its own know how, state of the art facility, and high technology from the experience of being involved with paper products to establish its own production system for paper yarn. Oji Fiber successfully produced top quality “Paper yarn OJO⁺” which is environmental friendly and mild to skin at available price.

Aside from having the lightness of the paper, OJO⁺ has many characteristics as such as being durable, has no fluff, high absorption potential, quick-drying, and has high dye-affinity. Abaca, also known as Manila hemp, is applied as the base material, has fast growth and development, high carbon dioxide absorption potential, non toxic when incinerated, and biodegradable. Abaca is a dream come true eco-friendly material, which weaves into the future of our next generation.
