I'm so excited to bring you a special Yarn Matter x Mimi's Origamis collaboration! Mimi is a local artist and friend who hand folds her origami pieces with traditional Japanese washi paper. She usually creates jewelry pieces, but she made stitch markers just for this collab!

The photos show an example of the sets you might get, but the washi paper used for each piece is unique so they might not be EXACTLY as pictured! 

Each set contains:

  • 1 main marker: a crane to represent peace, prosperity, and good fortune. Sealed in a wood-backed glass cabochon dome. 
  • 2 accent markers: made with scrap washi paper in coordinating colors to reduce waste! Sealed in a gold-plated bezel with a glass cabochon dome. 

Dimensions and weight:

  • Main marker: 1" in diameter, 1.5" in length including clasp
  • Accent marker: 0.5" in diameter, 1" in length including clasp
  • These are extremely light weight, coming in at about 0.14oz for the main marker. 

Hardware details:

  • Gold-filled leverback clasps

Thank you for your support!

Care Instructions

For best care and to maximize color longevity, hand wash gently with wool wash or a delicate, pH neutral detergent in cool water sparingly.If you need some wool wash, try Eucalan Delicate Wash! Avoid excessive agitation when washing. Keep out of direct sunlight as much as possible and lay flat to dry. Although I thoroughly wash the skeins, some colors may bleed in the first couple of washes.

Tips for Use

Due to the nature of hand dyed yarn, no two skeins are exactly the same. I recommend alternating skeins if working with more than one skein of the same color to ensure color consistency.

For ease of use, I recommend winding the yarn into a center-pull cake. I will happily wind your skeins into cakes before shipping them if you would like! Just let me know you would like your skeins wound in the notes section upon checkout. 

Disclaimer

I do my best to represent the colors accurately, but they may vary between monitors.

Products are dyed in a pet-friendly, smoke-free home.
