NB - international shipping* is temporarily disabled. New shipping rates by weight will be coming soon!
*EU shipping can only resume when the EU simplifies its VAT regulations on mail orders. Please complain to your MEP to try to change the regs for small non EU businesses! We can't calculate, charge and remit the different amounts of VAT to all 27 EU countries four times a year, when we are one person businesses. It is too much admin and too expensive to employ an EU based agent as currently required.
Dates for your diary for 2023 - we will be at World Textile Day Central, North, Scotland, and Wales,
plus the WTD market at Chipping Norton and WTD Bazzar in Edinburgh - www.worldtextileday.co.uk
Awai-iro (pale colours) is a new 40m medium mercerised sashiko thread collection, from the same Japanese manufacturer as my sashiko panels, Olympus Thread Mfg. Co. The first five colours were released in February 2022, and the next five, A6 - A10, were launched in February 2023 - kusumi means 'dullness' or a muted shade, and they extend the range with beautifully subtle shades. It is the same thread as their 100m mercerised sashiko thread, ideal for all your sashiko and boro inspired stitching.
Plus... Sashiko Lamé, the first sashiko thread to have a little sparkle added! This is a four ply thread, so ideal for using singly for even the most dense hitomezashi (one stitch sashiko), as well as using singly or doubled for other sashiko designs. Now in stock, to add a gentle glimmer to your special projects.
