This sashiko thread is individually handmade and indigo-dyed. As a result, each skein is one of a kind. They have natural and beautiful variations in color, texture, and pattern that are part of the unique character and depth inherent to natural dyeing—something fundamentally different from printed or synthetic-dyed products. Enjoy this 6-ply thread for sashiko, as well as hand-sewing and mending projects. Also available in thin/4-ply.

Each piece is individually handmade and dyed. As a result, natural variations in color, texture, and pattern are to be expected. Due to the nature of indigo-dyeing, dye transfer may occur with use.
