■ Knitting kit
The fourth knitting kit "Oscar's Closet"
Introducing the fourth KFS knitted doll kit, "Oscar's Closet." This knitting kit includes the costume recipes for KFS' mascot Oscar and his friends, as well as yarn.
The box can be transformed into a "closet" to store your completed work. It also comes with a mini hanger to hang your costumes, so you can enjoy your work even after it's completed.
*The Zebra Amigurumi costume in the photo is an example of a finished product. The Zebra Amigurumi and its recipe are not included with this product.
■Opal yarn
Opal Yarn
Opal is a magical yarn that fascinates people with its colorful patterns and patterns that appear one after another just by knitting in a straight line. Be sure to check out the new colors that will be released for this event!
■Alize Puffy
Alize Puffy
Puffy is a special loop yarn made in Turkey. It feels soft to the touch. And no knitting needles are needed. Just pass the loop through the loop and the shape will gradually come into shape. Easier than finger knitting! It's more like doing a puzzle than knitting. This is a recommended item for those who have never knitted before to try.
■Small Items
Small items
We have gathered cute accessories that even non-knitters can enjoy, including collaborative works by other artists such as knitted accessories and amigurumi finger puppets, as well as masking tape with an opal yarn knitting motif.
■Knit products
Knitted products
The lineup includes knitted items made from Opal yarn, such as the "belly warmer hat" with its many uses, the extremely practical hand warmer "Mole Glove," and the "socks" that inspired the company name Kesennuma Friedenssocken.
<Workshop>
We plan to hold a workshop and knitting event where people can share the fun of knitting items using Opal Yarn.
Applications for participation will be accepted at the venue for the entire schedule from the first day of the event.

She came to Japan as a medical researcher in 1987. Immediately after the Great East Japan Earthquake, she sent wool to evacuation centers in various parts of Tohoku, which led to her founding "Umemura Martina Kesennuma FS Atelier (KFS)" in March 2012. She is currently working to expand the "circle of friends knitting happiness."
