Sashiko, or little stabs, is a traditional Japanese technique of functional embroidery that can reinforce the fabric to make it stronger and more hardwearing.
This heavyweight Sashiko cotton is made from many layers of thread, making it strong and thick yet lightweight and breathable, with a stitched rice like texture. The fabric is dyed using a traditional technique called Bushu in which the threads are yarn dyed with real indigo dye before being woven.
*This fabric is rich in real indigo dye and the colour can transfer.
Made in Japan, 100% cotton, 120cm wide. Thread match suggestion:4818
