The Kasane (No knots finishing in Sashiko) have not come out after the project was completed. I am glad that I could confirm it with my students in the US, in English. Some Sashiko teachers may teach you “The Kasane” does not work… Well, it is not Kasane that makes it unavailable. It is about learning the proper technique, and the thread they use.

There are reasons why we call it Sashiko Thread (Please be mindful who you are purchasing the tread from because I see many “Sashiko Thread” without the characteristic of Sashiko thread). Learning the proper posture & rhythm may take a long time, but using the appropriate thread can/may almost immediately improve your Sashiko look. Among many selections, I am using only 3 kinds of Sashiko thread. They are all tested for a few years & we have been using it for decades.

Thread DOES Matter in Sashiko. If you don’t know what to get, please try to use what we offer. It would be great if you could support us by purchasing from our business. It is a large skein. A skein is 145 meters – so it is 7 times longer than the one you may find online. I appreciate your caring to our business & the Japanese people behind the screen.

i can confirm – i have a few pieces that i throw in the washing machine that are stitched with your thread and kasane holds up to it. thread does matter indeed and is worth the investment.
I am so excited to have stumbled across your feed. I am just starting this journey of sashiko stitching.
Wish I could order your thread , but right now it cannot be shipped to France. Does anyone in Europe carry your threads ?
