A whimsical dessert cafe inside Sinheung Market where yarn becomes art—literally. Housed in a converted 20-year-old knitting factory, this charming spot serves Instagram-famous mousse cakes designed to look exactly like balls of yarn and hand-knit sweaters. The earl grey "yarn" cake and mango "sweater" cake are almost too pretty to eat, served across three floors decorated with colorful threads and a rooftop terrace.
