Yup! This is the place with Japanese stuff. Special thanks to Kathy Au for taking this nice photo for me!

Where: First Markham Place, Unit 125, 3255 Highway 7 East

Feature: I have very limited information on this store since I've only been there once. But certainly this is a nice place for gathering of Cantonese speaking knitsters. They have knitting class available - $60/month. Yes they also have a big shelf full of Japanese pattern books from the latest Keito Dama to some really vintage ones. I think it's worth it to go there and browse through those gorgeous pattern books (and also because First Markham is a huge Asian Mall with hundreds of restaurants - yummy food!) However, these books are not for SALE. If you really like a pattern, you can request for one copy cost at $1/pattern. Most of the yarn there are Japanese brands with prices close to those of the European's. They also carry some American yarns such as Needful.

More yarn shops to come...
