The kit also contains a tiny thread snip (kuroha) that arrive in their own plastic sleeve. These snips work perfectly for snipping the yarn however they are not very sharp so they can only be used for snipping yarn.

A webpage link to a series of videos on darning is also provided in the instruction sheet. These videos are in Japanese but show how the darning mushroom can be used.
