Tips
Paper yarns have a lasting tradition in Japan. They are often compared to silk in their noble character and have similar properties to silk: Cooling in summer and warming in winter. Washi can be knit single stranded for lace and lightweight summer scarfs. For shirts and jackets we recommend to knit Washi double stranded or in combination with Niji or Asa.

from 95 reviewsI absolutely love the tool. It's gorgeous looking and very helpful. The tape is wider than usual ones. Doesn't get tangled

Decided to check out the store while on vacation in Singapore and it did not disappoint. It was well stocked with beautiful displays and showed the diversity of quality yarns. As I’m new to crocheting, Cecilia spent over a hour patiently explaining things to me and helping me select some beautiful skeins and shawl pins. Overall, a lovely store with excellent customer service. Highly recommend and will return anytime I’m in Singapore.

Nice colour, soft, easy to knit

Honestly, it was a great experience. I would love to go again during the next holidays, so I will start saving up ;)

Such a lovely yarn to work with, and the sheen!

I am always extremely pleased using Furls Odyssey Crochet hooks as they are faultless! This one wasn’t the first purchased and I am sure it will not be the last. My parcel was delivered very fast, coming from the other half of the world ! Thank you Yarning Hearts! Good job, good job!

These organic yarn comes in pretty pastel and bright colours with a light sheen. The cottony soft and smooth texture feels comfortable against the skin. We are very happy with the buy!

Great value for the sturdy material and quantity. Comes in lovely colors too!

Furls Odyssey hooks are terrific.
The hook I purchased from Yarning Hearts is beautiful and I was pleasantly surprised at the swiftness of its arrival.

Very soft and squishy, can imagine would be very cozy to wear next to skin. And it feels good on the hands to knit with too.

Great quality yarn, fast delivery. Perfect for my baby blanket project

Really nice colours with soft texture. Love this yarn

Handy, good design and well crafted leather. Good value for money!!
