This 100% cotton shot cotton in denim indigo blue is an alternative to Kofu Tsumugi if you are looking for a medium to light weight fabric for that can be used for detailed patchwork as well as sashiko. Unlike Kofu Tsumugi, this is a smooth fabric, without the slubs that characterise tsumugi fabrics. Ideal for patchwork, wearables, boro inspired work, bag linings, lightweight home textiles, etc. this is a versatile fabric. Beautiful as a coordinate for printed sashiko panels too.

This listing is for the slightly lighter denim indigo blue colourway, as shown in the first photo. The second photo shows the dark navy blue indigo shade.

For sashiko, I recommend medium or fine sashiko threads with this fabric, and the slightly smaller/finer needles in the Clover or Lecien packs.

This is not natural indigo and the colour should not run, but I would still recommend washing finished items with a colour catcher or dye grabber, just to be extra careful.

NB - sold by the half metre, so order '2' for 1 metre, '3' for 1.5m etc.
