This beautiful Sashiko thread is made by Olympus Threads, a company that has been manufacturing quality sashiko products in Japan for decades.
Sashiko thread is not stranded like embroidery thread, you use the whole thread for your stitching. This thread has a soft matte finish and is similar in weight to a #5 perle cotton.
All Sashiko thread is machine washable. In fact it gets prettier with washing as it plumps up like little grains of rice.
100% cotton
