amirisu

Inspiration from the Japanese knitting and craft scene.

We appreciate that many of our customers wish to order other items along with their amirisu magazine. When you pre-order, we will hold all of your items and ship everything when the latest amirisu issue is released. If you prefer that your other items ship immediately, please note this in your order. Thank you! 

amirisu is a print and online magazine that launched in August 2012. The founders, Tokuko and Meri, met through Ravelry in 2011. They were both frustrated by lack of modern and elegant knitwear patterns that could actually be worn to work, and thought knitters in other countries (not just in Japan) likely had the same frustration. Thus, the bilingual knitting magazine, amirisu, was born.

Now, amirisu magazine is distributed throughout the world, primarily through quality boutique yarn shops. To find out more about the amirisu journey, head over to Woolful Podcast or Morning on the Dock (a podcast by Squam Art Workshops).
