A thicker cotton fabric from Olympus Thread Mfg. Co., printed to imitate antique fabric, with light warm grey/cream random spots on a red background. Spots measure approx. 5mm accross. Perfect for including in many patchwork projects and the perfect coordinate for Takumi panel designs, like the kimono, hanten, cats and rabbits - ideal where you want a hint of old Japan.
Takeshi san and Yuko san at Olympus have helped me have a 'virtual' dig around some of the discontinued bolts of Takumi fabric from the Olympus stock room, and I have the very last two bolts of this that they had. It isn't repeatable, so if you like it, order it now. I will be listing some more of their discontinued 'treasures' just as they arrive!
Takumi fabrics have a slightly looser weave and lower thread counts than patchwork fabrics, and are similar to some sashiko fabrics, so they are great for sashiko stitch, boro etc.
110cm wide.
100% cotton
Made in Japan by Olympus Thread Mfg. Co.
NB - sold per half metre, so order '2' for one metre, '3' for 1.5m etc.
