Wool yarn for tufting by Katsumi Takeoka

We would like to introduce some of our customers who are using our wool yarn to create tufting projects.

We asked supporting artist Katsumi Takeoka about her three-dimensional works, which she created by combining tufting and punch needles.

■ Title

Manufactured in Hong Kong "Kumako Can"

I get a lot of inspiration from the city of Hong Kong when I create my works. Hong Kong supermarkets are a treasure trove of such inspiration!

The product packaging that Takeoka used as inspiration. It features colorful elements.Takeoka holding one of her tufting works. It has a barrel-shaped design with a panda and flower motif.

This piece was inspired by food packaging in Hong Kong.

This time, I have created a three-dimensional piece called Panda Can Tin, made in Hong Kong, which combines tufting and needle punching, something I have been aiming for since I started tufting!

The booth where Takeoka's tufting works are on display. The works are eye-catching with their panda and colorful designs.

The ground is tufted and the parts are needle punched and then combined to create a single piece.
