Sashiko is a traditional Japanese embroidery technique that uses running stitch to create beautiful geometric patterns.

This cotton thread from Japan is perfect for sashiko and other stitching projects, and the addition of lame creates a little shine with every stitch. Made from 96% cotton, and 4% polyester, the thread is strong and soft with a traditional matte finish, with the added sparkle of the lame. It is similar in weight to perle 8 cotton.

Skein is 40 metres. In addition to sashiko, this thread works well for decorative hand quilting, visible mending (boro), and hand embroidery.
