A Yarn with a Story
Inspired by the traditional Japanese game of the same name, Ohajiki brings to life the iridescent beauty of the coin-shaped glass and ceramic pieces once flicked across tatami mats by children. Each ball of yarn evokes the same light-catching magic, a colour journey filled with delight, movement, and emotion. Just like its namesake, Ohajiki is playful, textured and timeless, perfect for crafters who treasure both tradition and creativity.
