D&M Trading Unveils Exciting New Products at 2026 Hobby Show

D&M Trading Company at the 2026 Japan Hobby Show

D&M Trading Co., headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, will participate in the 50th Japan Hobby Show, running from May 8 to May 10, 2026, at Tokyo Big Sight. The company will showcase an array of high-quality products, focusing on three renowned brands: KnitPro, Lantern Moon, and Symfonie Yarns. This year’s highlight is the Japanese debut of the eagerly awaited "KnitPro Ginger Purple."

The event promises a sensory experience, allowing attendees to not only view but physically handle the products. This interaction is crucial for understanding the unique textures, colors, and usability that photos alone cannot convey.

Featured Products

At the D&M Trading booth, visitors can expect an extensive selection of knitting needles, interchangeable circular needle sets, various accessories, and fine yarns, all designed to enhance the crafting experience. The booth aims to celebrate the joy of tool selection for beginners while offering experienced crafters insight into the distinct features and charms of each series by allowing a hands-on evaluation.

Specifically, the introduction of "KnitPro Ginger Purple" is one of the key attractions at this event. Attendees will also be able to explore the popular series from Lantern Moon and the captivating color palette of Symfonie Yarns.

Special Promotions at the Show

All products will be available at exclusive on-site prices. Additionally, the Hobby Show will feature special promotions that allow attendees to enjoy unique shopping opportunities. Customers spending 10,000 yen or more (tax included) will receive a choice of a "GlideX Cord 80cm" or "Needle Protector" as a gift. There’s an extra bonus for those who follow D&M Trading’s Instagram account: they will receive a limited edition KnitPro eco-bag (not for sale) with their purchase of 10,000 yen or more (while supplies last).

Exclusive Pre-Order Options

During the Hobby Show, attendees will have the unique opportunity to pre-order new items set to launch in late June 2026, including the "SYMFONIE2" circular needle set and "VYBE" crochet hook set. The "SYMFONIE2" represents an evolution of the beloved SYMFONIE series, embodying a beautiful rainbow-inspired design and premium packaging while retaining its user-friendly essence.

The "VYBE" series combines elegance and comfort with aluminum hooks finished in rose gold, ensuring a smooth and pleasant crafting experience. It features an ergonomic handle designed with softer rubber for easy grip, ideal for long sessions of crafting, especially for those with larger hands. Each size is color-coded for easy identification.

Special Guests

The booth is expected to welcome distinguished guests, such as Munish Bhalla, Vice President of KnitPro, alongside popular circular needle YouTuber @menma_______. This engagement will offer fans insights into the brand’s ethos and the intricate craftsmanship behind their products.

Experience the Crafting World

The Hobby Show is one of Japan's premier events celebrating handmade crafts and hobbies, providing a rare chance for attendees to experience the brand's philosophy and product attributes up close. It is an opportunity that allows visitors to appreciate the textures and colors that online marketplaces like Rakuten and Amazon cannot fully deliver.

As part of their commitment to connect brands with consumers, D&M Trading Company has partnered with over 40 manufacturers to ensure a selection of high-quality products drawn from local and international sources. The upcoming event is another step in their ongoing efforts to build a bridge between manufacturers and consumers through effective product selection, sales, and promotion.

D&M Trading Company aims to continue providing the crafting community with access to high-quality, compelling products while enhancing brand value and expanding recognition within the Japanese market. For those interested in the products displayed at the show, they will also be available on Rakuten Market and Amazon.
