A Japanese thread for a centuries-old tradition. Sashiko is a traditional Japanese embroidery technique, originally used to reinforce and repair fabrics with small, even stitches. Over time, these functional stitches evolved into beautiful geometric patterns, transforming Sashiko into a decorative art that remains just as relevant today.
Daruma Sashiko threads are made in Japan and specially developed for this technique. Made from 100% cotton, they have a distinctive thickness and texture that allow each stitch to be clearly defined and stand out beautifully against the fabric. Each skein contains 40 metres of thread and is available in a wonderful palette of 29 colours, ranging from traditional shades to brighter, more contemporary tones.
To complete your project, you’ll also find Sashiko needles and books dedicated to the technique in our shop, perfect for learning your first stitches or exploring new patterns and projects.
