Among many kinds of Sashiko thread, I used only a few kinds of thread. To enrich the color availability, I added another thread which is almost identical to the thread I use. Then, 2 years ago, in order to encourage Sashiko fans to use the “Sashiko thread” instead of “whatever thread”, I started looking for the alternative for our favorite Sashiko thread – Since our thread is not designed to offer wholesale with regular standard, it can be difficult to get especially when a customer lives in a different nation (although all of our threads are available in the U.S. & Internationally at @upcyclestitches.)

Our goal is to share the Sashiko. And, the “Thread does matter”. I want you to use “Sashiko Thread” rather than “whatever thread you have”. However, “Sashiko thread” also has many varieties. It is my personal policy to sell “Only what I like to use” in Sashiko. It took 1~2 years to test the thread, and I started selling them as a good alternative of our Sashiko Thread in 2019 on our website – It is Daruma Sashiko thread – offered by many other sellers. ☆
Here is a photo comparing the new thread. Also the article is available (https://upcyclestitches.com/sashiko-thread-update-2020/). Although Daruma thread is available in many stores, if you have a choice, please purchase them from Upcycle Stitches since your support will help us keep researching & testing. Also, your support will help me to develop the wholesale option, then it may be easier for you to get the Daruma thread nearby you. ☆
Please be advised. Thread Matters in Sashiko. ☆

刺し子に関しては恵まれた環境で育ったので、ほんの最近まで刺し子糸は一種類しか使ったことがありませんでした。今でもその刺し子糸が最高だと思っているし、他の糸を使うと「なんだかなぁ」となってしまうのですが、同時に「世界で刺し子を紹介する」為には、できるだけ大きな生産能力を持つ糸と一緒に紹介する必要があります。日々研究をされている横田様の刺し子糸を1年くらい試してみて、去年から米国で販売をしております。その刺し比較。刺してみないとわからないのが、糸の面白いところ（怖い所）です。簡単なようで奥深い。あぁ、まるで味噌汁だ。
