Thread and yarn store @ Rosario, Pasig

I stumbled upon many bloggers who write incomplete and misleading articles about stores of yarns and threads per kilo. I find all the previous articles about "Yarn and Thread store Rosario, Pasig articles" ranging from 2009 to present, by Toni's Favorite, Gantsilyo Guru, to Nheng's very less substantial. I mean all of them, even from websites and results from all search engines.

It is kinda frustrating that none of those lady bloggers came up to make updated and credible posts, and write substantial and reliable details of all these pieces of information. Let me all help you with all of those endeavors.

First and foremost, where are all the stores of threads and yarns per kilo located at?

You can locate it on Google Maps via this link. Moreover, the Street view will really help you a lot on where are all those thread and yarn stores located. If you're up for the Street view, focus your sights on the area with the red circles as illustrated. It is just Lacion's General Merchandise alone whom you can just go and buy for threads and yarns. If you will look at the street view and look at those areas, you will see more than just one store there. There are lots of stores there to look onto, and they are still open.

How to get to the place?

If you’re coming from the South, try riding a jeepney or an FX going to Pasig, ask the driver to drop you off after the first footbridge of Rosario Bridge (as indicated in the hyperlink above). Cross the street via footbridge and you’d see the stores selling threads in cones and yarns.

If you’re coming from the North, you should at least go to Cubao and ride a jeep with a Cubao-Rosario via Libis boundary, and it also passes through the same bridge mentioned above. It’s really easy to recognize the stores because there are a lot of them and you could see a lot of threads.

If you are coming from Manila (or if you want to have a comfy ride), ride a Quiapo-Taytay bus as it also passes through the same bridge. You can see the path of the bus through this link. There are many buses passing through Ortigas. The bus company/bus type (ordinary or aircon bus) is not the issue, but as long as you ask/tell the bus conductor to drop off on the same spot as I first mentioned.

How's the price?

According to those blog writers dated from 2009 to present, the price of threads and yarns are measure per kilo, not by single quantity. The price of the threads is Php 170 per kilo. On the other hand, yarns are priced at Php 270 per kilo.

Some tailors prefer to buy threads on Pasig, rather than going to Divisoria for three reasons: (1) Divisoria is very congested and a prone to crime area (if you just got some of your stuff stolen just by going there, try to tread lightly when you go there); (2) Though threads in Divisoria are cheap per individual cone (or spool quantity), the quality isn't trusty as it is (simply don't buy threads from walking merchants; it depends on your threadly needs), and (3) some might prefer proximity-wise and budget-wise place to buy threads (and yarns) at Pasig.

I haven't been there but these are just my inputs. Anyway, this blog article will be updated. It includes my first-hand experience going there.
