WHERE TO BUY — SHOPS

Where to buy
tufting tools

Shops in Japan where you can buy tufting guns and supplies. Tufting guns can vary quite a bit from one unit to another, so it helps to be able to contact the seller easily if something goes wrong. We recommend buying from a seller based in Japan.

These are the basic tools you need to start tufting. Each shop also sells other gun models, more yarn, fabric for backing your rugs and other accessories, so take a look at their websites when you choose. Not every shop ships outside Japan, so please check on each shop's website. Most shop websites are in Japanese.
