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.
Kofu Tsumugi is a top quality 100% cotton yarn dyed shot cotton, woven with a coloured warp and a black weft by Olympus Thread Mfg. Co. The black weft gives it an amazing depth to the colours and great subtlety. It is the same fabric that my sashiko panels are printed on. Tsumugi has a sligtly slubbed effect which reflects how it was originally a hand woven kimono fabric. Fine enough for detailed patchwork, I used it for many blocks in the Japanese Quilt Blocks to Mix and Match book, as well as for many sashiko projects. The perfect all rounder.
