This case is useful for storing knitting needles and other tools,
and conveniently rolls up and fits into a bag for easy carrying.
The case comes in two sizes and four colors.
This cap fits onto a knitting needle to prevent the yarn from slipping off when taking a break halfway through knitting.
The rabbit figurine is modeled after an old stuffed animal in knitting artist Mariko Mikuni’s home.
This yarn cutter is made of sturdy, antique-style metal. The cutting blades are located safely within the teeth around
the medal-shaped cutter, and yarn can easily be cut by pulling the strand between these teeth.
The compact size makes this cutter convenient while traveling, as well.
Heavily-used needles may have their size labels wear off over time.
This sizing tool will identify your needle sizes by fitting the needle snugly into the sizing holes.
*This product is designed with Japanese knitting needle sizes.
Here you can buy tools you’ll need to knit the patterns that come in the Knitting Kits.
The tools are sized by Japanese measurements, so buying them all together will make it easier to coordinate.
Prices include sales tax and do not include shipping.
The manual included in the Miknits2014 kit is written in Japanese, and
as is standard in Japan, patterns are illustrated visually.
There are several websites online that explain Japanese knitting diagrams in English, so we hope these will be useful for you..
We apologize that the Hobonichi Store is unable to answer knitting-related questions..
There are knitting lessons on YouTube that are included with the kit, but these explanations are only available in Japanese..
Knitting kits come with extra yarn for some leeway when working on the project, but if you use up the extra amounts before finishing the knitwork, we are unable to provide refunds, exchanges, or separate yarn sales..
Yarn may have small knots connecting strands together, but this is a normal part of manufacturing. Please use the yarn as usual..
Yarn may snap if pulled too strongly..
Finished products may slightly vary in size depending on the tightness of your knitting, so please refer to “Finished product sizes” as a general guide.
