Recommended indigo dyeing fabric for sashiko


Traditional sashiko that is prickly and soothing

sashiko indigo thin fabric tradition

The Japanese culture of using cloth carefully for a long time has become a popular handicraft that is attracting attention from overseas. An immersive sashiko that makes you forget the time as you sew one stitch at a time. Beginners can easily get started Kits containing fabric, needles and threads are also available on the market, so why not choose your favorite color and pattern?

Advanced users will be more picky about materials. I think the classic atmosphere of the white thread on the indigo fabric is wonderful, so if you are looking for it, please try it.

Sashiko is a traditional Japanese embroidery technique in which white thread is sewn onto indigo cloth.

When cotton was a precious commodity, it began as a way to reinforce clothes and futons and to keep them warm. It is also applied to hanten and kendo wear, and its beautiful pattern and simple texture are attractive. It is standard to embroider the indigo cloth with white thread, and it is enjoyed in a wide range of ways, such as adding cute patterns with colorful threads to the white bleached cloth and using colored cloth. sashiko traditional pattern indigo thin fabric

Traditional patterns with wishes

Seigaiha <a pattern with a wish for a peaceful life where gentle waves continue forever>
Cloisonne Tsunagi <Auspicious pattern that means harmony by connecting circles and connects endlessly>
I think I've seen something like this somewhere. Plants and nature are motifs, and patterns expressed by combining straight lines and curves are fun the more you learn.

What you arrive at is the indigo color of the skein dyeing

For sashiko, we recommend medium thin fabric No. 6015 dark blue, which is moderately thin and easy to pass through. The fabric is woven after the threads have been dyed indigo, and the fading and shading of the dyed threads give depth to the fabric. If you compare them side by side, you will notice the difference. How about immersing yourself in the world of traditional sashiko with a fabric reminiscent of the cloth of the Meiji era? The good thing about this fabric is that it feels more mature as you use it and wash it. Please enjoy the change after completion.
