Sashiko Thread Collection, Three in Blue & Green

Three skeins Blue & Green. 3 Olympus sashiko thread skeins gathered together because I like them together. My friend says they "don't go'. You decide :-)

20 meters each skein, a total 60 meters

Made by the Olympus in Japan, who have manufactured quality sashiko products for many decades, this is a dependable washable and colourfast sashiko thread.

Sashiko thread is not stranded like embroidery thread, you use the whole thread for your stitching.  Just cut it into a comfortable length, thread your needle, and stitch.  Prepare your sashiko thread

Olympus 20 meter sashiko thread skeins have a soft matt finish and are about the weight of #5 perle cotton.  I think Olympus sashiko threads get prettier with repeat washing. It has been deliberately designed to leave the cotton fibres open enough to improve with washing. The thread will become smoother and plumper adding to the   distinctive little 'rice like'  sashiko stitches.
