a knitter in tokyo 🇯🇵🧶: yarn shopping & haul (with prices & honest thoughts)

I'm Lisa, a beginner knitter based in Canada 🧶 I was away in Asia for a little while, but Bo Peep Knits is now back in business! In this video, I share my yarn shopping strategy, some Japanese yarn-related vocabulary, my experience yarn shopping at the Japanese yarn stores, my knitting plans, and all of the yarn and knitting notions that I bought! This vid's a long one, but I hope you like it 😊 Let's be friends 🤗 📸 Instagram:   / bopeepknits   🎞️ Tiktok:   / bopeepknits   ⭐ Ravelry: https://www.ravelry.com/people/bopeep...
