Everything you need for sashiko
Handpicked for best stitching experience
200 metres of sashiko thread for many projects
The Kit Contains:
Indigo plant-dyed fabric: one piece around 30cm x 30cm. Our plant dyed fabric is ideal for sashiko - it is easy for needle and thread to pass while still has good ability to maintain its shape and structure instead of being too loose and soft. It has been hand dyed with unique look, texture, and shade. The natural dyeing process means that the fabric will not need to be washed for pre-shrinking.
Sashiko thread: 100 meters white (6-ply) and 100 meters off-white/cream (4-ply). These two types are most commonly used for most sashiko projects. The 6-ply thread is the standard thickness used for medium and large sized project, while the 4-ply thread is more used for small projects.
Sashiko needles in two sizes: the shorter one for 4-ply thread, the longer one for 6-ply thread
Silicone thimble / needle grabber / finger protector: standard size for index finger (this comes in multiple colours and we will dispatch it randomly)
Sashiko stencils: one acrylic for quickly drawing 1cm grids and one thin plastic paper in classic/traditional sashiko pattern
Heat erasable pen refills: 2 white and 1 blue
