Washi Knit de Lace Cardigan

This cropped cardigan, with a silhouette reminiscent of a bolero, is made from washable washi paper yarn—perfect for adding a special touch to any outfit with just a light layer.

Crafted from durable yet supple washi spun from Manila hemp, this natural fiber has long been trusted for its strength in ropes and ship sails. It allows air to pass through effortlessly, helping to keep moisture at bay and offering a fresh, dry feel even in humid weather.

Using lightweight, dimensional yarn, we’ve taken the time to hand-knit delicate frills, lace, and scalloped edges with care. This piece is a quiet showcase of 45R’s Japanese craftsmanship—designed not for trends, but for lasting beauty.
