This 100% cotton shot cotton in a charcoal grey is a great 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, for which I recommend choosing a contrasting colour rather than trying to colour match. This listing is for the charcoal grey colourway. A very good neutral colour for a more contemporary sashiko look.
 
For sashiko, I recommend medium or fine sashiko threads with this fabric, and the slightly smaller/finer needles in the Clover 8 needle pack (also in Japanese packaging) or Lecien needle packs.
