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 #136 'suō', a rich burgundy red (first photo), deeper than 100m #104 - 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 the noble color "suo", which was loved by the aristocrats of the Heian period. Embroidering patterns such as shippō (seven treasures) and tatewaku (rising steam), which were favored by the Heian period aristocrats, evokes an elegant culture'. Both shippō (in several variations) and tatewaku patterns are available as printed sashiko sampler hanafukin panels, so why not try this colour for those designs?
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.
