    Amazing yarn store in the north of Kyoto. Love the concept of how they sell the yarn by the 10g lot. Lots of interesting yarns with many textured varieties. There is also kits which are perfect as gifts for your crafty friends. Be sure to put a few hours aside to ensure there is time for the creation of kits and “Corning” up of yarn. Limited English spoken but very friendly.

    It's a store that opened in what used to be the only game center in Ichijoji until a few years ago. In the days of the arcade, it was a hangout place for unscrupulous people (especially on the second floor of the building), so it didn't have a good reputation among the neighbors, and there were times when it was noisy at night. When this store opened after its withdrawal, it had a stylish atmosphere and seemed to fit the image of Ichijoji, which has a large family population. I don't have anything to do, so I just pass by the store all the time, but the bad image it had from the old game center days has disappeared, and it's now easier to stop by, and it feels much brighter. I think it's rare to find a place that handles so many different types of yarn.

    I visited the store for the first time in March 2023. Since there were no customers, I had the staff all to myself and talked to them♪ I was excited because they wrapped the thread on the spot and the wrapping after purchase was so cute (lol) Being able to purchase it for 10g is very helpful for me as I knit knits for dolls! I would be happy if I could purchase 10g online, so I would like to be able to purchase 3 10g pieces of the same thread in different colors. ☆彡☆彡☆彡☆彡☆彡☆彡☆彡☆彡☆ ↑ I went again a month later. There are about 10 limited edition colors of Harmony made from 100% silk thread, and I received 5 of the colors I wanted wrapped in two 10g pieces. When I was looking at the thread while I was winding it, I saw a sample of a straw hat, and it turned out to be made from the same bamboo tape used for peanut pochette. It was so soft...I bought one ball. There were 5-6 colors available, but I chose the classic camel. I’m looking forward to knitting it now☆ I’m glad I went today♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪

    Beautiful store selling a wide variety of yarns in cotton, linen, wool, silk, and more. These yarns are suitable for weaving, knitting, or crochet and there are inspiring samples displayed in the store. The staff are happy to help you choose, and can sell you yarn by weight. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys craft.

    I always stop by when I'm nearby! This time I bought 3 pieces of yarn. I'm planning to make scrunchies and accessories. A whopping 20% ​​off student discount.

    I found a thread that is hard to find in Korea. The workers were friendly, and I was able to purchase the yarn I wanted as much as I wanted.

    Moito shop that makes you feel happy💛💛💛 As soon as you enter the door There is a Weaver Girl customer and the clerk is knitting I couldn't help but exclaim, "I'm so happy" Not only the variety is rich and colorful Naked hairy men hanging on the wall It can be touched, and the label fits the needle size. Unfortunately, there are no ingredients and origin. The clerk explains how the raw materials are imported and all are made in Japan. Anyway, the whole Mooshi wall is super cute and super pink bubbles Prices can be calculated in small units of 10 g, and the wiring is plied and wound on site. The service is super warm and considerate. Even if I don’t understand the language, I still try my best to help me find my favorite mochi. It’s a great mochi shop❤️
