These sashiko sampler cloths from Daruma are a great introduction to sashiko and some of the traditional patterns used. They come as a pre-printed cloth which is doubled up to create a neat cloth with finished edges. After stitching the printed lines will disappear with a gentle wash.
The finished cloth size is approx 34cm square. Some designs are available in white or navy. 100% cotton, made in Japan.
English instructions included. Most of these designs take 1 card of Daruma sashiko thread in thin or thick. The following designs take more:
White Clover - 3 cards thick or thin
Cross Flower - 3 cards thin or 3-4 cards thick
Mountain Range - 2 cards thick or 1 card thin
Grid designs - this will vary as you stitch your own pattern of choice.

Update: I didn’t realise that the cushion is loose so you can embroider on it, then you permanently attach both pieces. I must have missed those instructions, & I don’t have them anymore. I do like that I have a pin cushion close by so I can quickly & easily change out my embroidery needles. Thank you for letting me know that I can embroider the cushion then permanently fit it to the wooden piece.
This gorgeous piece of fabric is suitable for experts and beginners alike. I'm very much a newbie to embroidery and it's such fun to do. There are so many ideas to find and some of the figures will definitely be men. Delivery was super quick, great packaging too.
Beautiful wools. I am using them to embroider a design by Nicola Jarvis. The flecks enhance the crewel work stitching on her badger design. So pleased I have now purchased the other 3 bundles.
A beautifully crafted needle holder, a piece of art in its own right. Definitely worth the price and practical, an essential for anyone interested in knitting or crochet.
Lovely little needle minder that works fine. Nice detailed design with a tiny heart on the back. Very collectable.
