This collection of 5 skeins of Olympus Sashiko Thread in 20 meter skeins makes me think of the changing colours of nature in the last quiet days of autumn.
These 20 meter sashiko thread skeins are imported from Japan and are made by the Olympus company that has been manufacturing quality sashiko products in Japan for decades. The thread has a soft matt finish and is about the weight of #5 Perle cotton.
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. See how to keep your thread from becoming a tangled mess.
This sashiko thread is machine washable and colourfast. In fact it gets prettier with washing as it plumps up like little grains of rice.
