WS held (this is already sold out)

5 years ago when I decided to move to Kyoto. Actually, I wasn't sure whether to go to Kamakura or Kyoto. I made a lot of friends, and some people recommended me to move here.

In the end, I think it was really good that I chose Kyoto. A land pattern with many textile manufacturers, a place where handmade has taken root.

But I want to meet my friends in Kamakura, and I really like the place where I can spend a relaxing time. So I decided to make an excuse to go out. Let's do an event!

The venue is the "Machi no Employee Cafeteria" operated by the fun company KAYAC, which started a business in Kamakura and recently returned to Kamakura. A friend of mine was involved in its launch, so I was able to lend it to him during his free time on the weekend. The president, Mr. Yanagisawa, is also a person I respect very much, and I feel happy that I was able to connect with him.

Now what shall we do? My friend nao, who works at the Tokyo store, lives near Kamakura, so I planned a full day of workshops and knit cafes.

Nao and I have been talking for some time about wanting to hold a weaving workshop using a wire frame. It can be used as a basket, but of course it can also be used as a lampshade (originally a lampshade). A hand woven lampshade is wonderful. If you want to change the pattern, just reweave it. I wonder if it can also be a handy yarn ball.

Of course, you can also learn the basics of weaving. She used her wisdom to select materials so that even a beginner could make something cute. Would you like to increase the pop interior?

WS includes lunch. To my surprise, my friend Mami-san, who is a chef, showed her skill. She is a lady who runs catering and private dining, which is a little famous in Kamakura. I was also treated several times. I'm excited to be able to make lunch this time.

The last is a knit cafe. This is the same as the usual amirisu knit cafe, where everyone chats and knits together. After spending half a day in Kamakura, please come and have a tea break.

It's going to be a day like that. If possible, I would like to do it regularly, about once every two months. Please come and visit us for this first project.

On Saturday, May 25th, La Bien Aimée's pop-up shop will open in WALNUT Tokyo for one day only.

A knit cafe held at GLOCAL CAFE the other day. We welcomed Saichika and had a very enjoyable day.

On April 13th (Sat), Helga Isager will visit the WALNUT Kyoto store.

We are looking forward to your visit.

On April 14th (Sat), Helga Isager will be visiting Walnut Kyoto.

This is a unique opportunity to learn how to knit directly from a designer.

It's still a little early, but here's the news about the event that will be held at the Tokyo store in May. A pop-up event will be held on May 26th for a hand-dyed artist who is active in the suburbs of Tokyo.

I've been seeing pictures of very nice yarn on Instagram for a long time, but all of them are hard to come by, such as being active individually. In response to such people, we decided to hold a one-day pop-up event.

We are very much looking forward to getting our hands on the real thing. Please come and visit us!
