These stunning new colours of sashiko are new releases for 2025.Be one of the first to add these fabulous new sashiko thread colours to your collection!
Medium mercerised sashiko thread 100m skein, shade #133 'chōji', clove (first photo) - one of ten new solid colours! Suitable for all your sashiko and boro stitching. May be used double or singly.
The manufacturer says - 'This color is inspired by cloves, which were used in various things during the Heian period, such as medicines, fragrances, and kimono dyes. Because of its rarity, it was considered to be auspicious, making it ideal for embroidering patterns such as fundō (balance weights) and shippō (seven treasures).' Both these patterns are available as Olympus sashiko sampler hanafukin printed panels.
Please note - this mercerised thread feels slightly smoother and thinner than the non-mercerised 20m sashiko thread. It is less likely to 'shred' or go slightly fluffy when stitching.
Ideal for my printed sashiko panels.
Sashiko needles - use either Olympus Thread Mfg. Co.sashiko needles 2 pack or 4 pack.
Available in many beautiful solid colours, plus 'bokashi' (shading to white) and varigated multicolours.
Made in Japan
