Ivory cotton sashiko thread - 100m skein. 100% cotton. Stitching so much that your standard skeins keep running out too fast? This 100 metre skein is for you. In a warm ivory colour, this thread gives a softer hue than the standard bright white.
Sashiko thread is different to regular embroidery floss, the main one being that the fine strands are twisted together to make a single thread or 'yarn' which you use as one.
Sashiko is traditional Japanese style of embroidery, characterised by running stitches, which makes it a very accessible project for both those starting out in embroidery, and those with more experience. It's often used to reinforce and strengthen fabric in a decorative and beautiful way.
Made in Japan by Olympus.
