These stunning new colours of sashiko are new releases for 2025. Be one of the first to add them to your collection.
Medium mercerised sashiko thread 100m skein, shade #305 'Konpeitou' (first photo)- dyed with 6 colours! One of four new rainbow colours. Suitable for all your sashiko and boro stitching. May be used double or singly.
The manufacturer says - 'The color is inspired by Konpeitou, a sugar confectionery that has been loved since ancient times as a gift for celebrations and as a gift from shrines and temples. The color is colorful and cute, making it the perfect color for stitching the konpeitou pattern.' Yes, some konpeitou candies are blue (see second photo) - !
The Konpeitou sashiko sampler hanafukin is available in indigo blue, light blue, and white.
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
