Atelier Twine's 4th Exhibition - report

Atelier Twine's 4th yarn exhibition


Hopped on a (a very fast) train to Osaka for the weekend and after a slow start on Hangover Sunday went to see Atelier Twine's yarn exhibition and sales.


This was their 4th yearly exhibition and they have been selling yarn designed for handknitters and handweavers for about as many years. They have many new yarn mixes of varying fibres including wool, cotton, cashmere and angora and some fancy sparkly and boucle yarns all for very reasonable prices. They don't have a lot of photos on their website, but they send out samples of all of their yarns and have an English speaking member of staff.


They also had some beautiful small items made from their yarn and yarn photos taken by Robert Banas on display.

That last one is of their dog, Ito-chan, who is a Pug x Shiba. How cute and yet ugly at the same time.
