2. Commitment to yarn processing
The yarn used for Foo towels is said to be “extremely sweet twisted”, and because the fibers are less twisted than ordinary yarns, the fibers themselves contain air and are fluffy. On the other hand, if the number of twists is small, the strength tends to be weak, but by using an advanced and special technique called "one-strand starching", which glues the fibers one by one, the yarn is less likely to break even with extremely loose twists.
We are particular about the chemicals used in yarn processing.
Instead of the conventional "scouring bleaching" that uses a large amount of chemicals, we use the "TZ acid enzyme method" that is gentle on the environment and the skin. The "TZ acid enzyme method" does not use "chlorine" or "caustic soda (sodium hydroxide)", which is a strong alkali and acutely toxic substance, so each fiber is healthy without damaging it. Therefore, it is possible to make it soft to the touch.
