40m Awai-Iro Sashiko Thread - Aqua (#A13)

Sashiko thread is a type of thread traditionally used in the Japanese needlework technique known as Sashiko. Sashiko is a form of decorative stitching or embroidery that originated in Japan. The word "Sashiko" means "little stabs" or "little pierce" in Japanese, which refers to the small, even stitches used in the technique.

Sashiko thread has a unique twist that gives it a more pronounced and textured appearance when stitched. This twist helps the thread to create defined patterns and designs on the fabric. It is known for its strength and durability. Historically, Sashiko was used to reinforce and repair fabric, so the thread needed to be sturdy.
