These little bundles of five sixteenths of a metre (25 x 26cm approx.) are perfect for mixing in with other scraps for a traditional boro inspired look. I chose two of the Moda Ombre Wovens, two Peppered Cottons, and one Olympus Azumino cotton for an interesting texture and weave contrast.
 
Narcissi are such welcome flowers in spring, adding a wonderful splash of colour to the verges in our village. Sashiko threads that would go well with this bundle for boro are #24 170m or #227 40m ‘Spring Green’ fine 4-ply Yokota sashiko threads, or #155 ‘moegi’ (spring green) 100m sashiko thread, or, naturally, any of the yellow or orange sashiko threads.
 
This listing is for ONE mini boro bundle, but several are shown in the photos to give you a better view of the fabrics. Peppered Cottons have a slightly shiny, 'calendered' finish fresh from the bolt, which disappears when washed - the fabrics become more matte and the colours seem even more intense. Azumino cotton has a much lower thread count than patchwork cottons, and an unevenly spun thread (to look like antique hand spun fabrics), which will fray more, and add an interesting texture to your boro inspired project.
 
I add more bundles on different themes from time to time. It is easier (and more fun for me!) to make these bundles in one-off batches, rather than trying to repeat the same fabric assortment, so once these are gone, I will not repeat them.
