Traditional Sashiko Thread Set, 4 Colors: White, Natural, Navy, Blue - 100% Cotton, Size 20/6

Start stitching the way sashiko began: pale thread on deep indigo, or dark thread on natural cloth. This ThreadArt set brings together the four colors most closely tied to traditional Japanese sashiko — crisp White, soft Natural, deep Navy and classic Blue — so you are ready for both light-on-dark and dark-on-light designs. Our 20/6 sashiko thread is made in Japan from 100% natural cotton. The medium thickness is ideal for the iconic "rice grain" running stitch. Unlike embroidery floss, it is non-divisible and twisted to resist fraying, with a soft, matte finish that suits quilting, boro, visible mending and geometric hitomezashi patterns.
