This coordinated combination of 100m sashiko threads includes #102 cream, #106 yellow ochre, and #111 golden yellow. These are the threads I used to stitch a sample of my 2020 geometric sashiko panel in deep red, shading through the colours in the different patterns. There's a 5% discount off this bundle too. Please note - this mercerised thread feels slightly thinner than the 20m sashiko thread, which is non mercerised and feels a little fluffy by comparison. For all your sashiko, boro inspired stitching, big stitch hand quilting, creative embroidery etc.
Ideal with the Olympus Thread Mfg. Co. printed sashiko panels. One panel requires one skein of thread approx. if used singly, more if used doubled.
NB - thread labels are now white. Previously, this range had dark blue labels. It is the same thread.

'Golden Sampler' three x 100m medium sashiko threads pack
Sashiko threads skeins have to be opened out before use. Slide of the skein band first. You will find all the thread is tied together at one point. Cut through the skein at the knot, so all the threads are cut (you'll find these are the ideal length for stitching doubled). Push all the thread through the skein band, and then plait the thread loosely. Pull out each thread as you need it from the loop end of the plait, not the 'fringed' end. This saves time trying to wind the thread into a ball, keeps it tidy and you know the thread shade number if you need to re order.
