This beautiful Sashiko Kit from Cohana makes a stunning gift and a very special set for beginners or those who are more practiced in the craft.
It contains:
Linen cloth x 1 in white or grey, 50 cm x 50 cm
Sashiko thread x 1 contrasting card
Sashiko needle x 1
Tassel charm x 1
Instructions in Japanese & English
The fine linen cloth is woven by artisans in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, which has a great reputation for its textile quality and heritage. It is fine to stitch and the needle will glide through with ease.
The stitch patterns are printed on the linen cloth with special ink that disappears with water. The overlapping circles of the Japanese traditional pattern “Shippo Tsunagi" symbolise happiness, harmony, and connections. The design is believed to bring good luck.
The carefully selected Sashiko thread is made of cotton dyed with natural plants to contrast with the cloth. The kit also includes a handmade tassel with a tiny handmade Temari ball charm - a perfect finishing touch!
Available in grey or white fabric kits.

I love the simplicity of Sashiko and the history of the stitches.
This is my first time doing this type of embroidery and I am certainly slow stitching’ it.
I will send a photo when completed.
