New packaging but it's the same thread. Hidamari sashiko thread. Made by Cosmo Lecien, you can trust the quality of this thread for sashiko stitching, visible mending, and boro. Also try it for embroidery and other hand stitching projects, and for big stitch quilting as well. It has the qualities we all want. It won't shrink, bleed or fade with washing, and it is easy to handle.
Hidamari Sashiko thread, 100% cotton, on 30 meter spools. If you would like a thinner sashiko stitching thread for a lighter looking stitched line, this is a good choice. It is a firmer thread, so it doesn't have the slight fuzz of the softer 20 meter Olympus sashiko thread skeins, and it it truly a matter of preference whether this is a better feature :-)
