The Sashiko Thread we recommend is (a bit) different from other sewing/embroider

The Sashiko Thread we recommend is (a bit) different from other sewing/embroidery threads. They are “threads” in the same category, but Japanese Sashiko artisan developed the threads for Sashiko overtime. Therefore, Thread Does Matter. Therefore, I would like you to know how to add the “Care” to the thread – in many various ways, but here is one.

I sometimes encounter the reviews to (Sashiko) Threads saying [It is extremely difficult to manage] and [It tangled right away. Waste of Money]. It seems like it happens to other Sashiko Threads besides the one we use & recommend. I find it very unfortunate because the troubles won’t happen when they learn how to take care of their threads in Sashiko. It is OUR responsibility to offer the information on how to avoid unfortunate experiences. Now, in the trend, many crafting stores offer “Sashiko Threads” without knowing the stories nor offering the explanation.

This isn’t really a “Sashiko Tutorials”. I include this information into my Sashiko Class, but this is NOT the core message of my teaching. It is like 0.1% (but necessary) information to start with. Therefore, I feel it is important to offer it for free while some may take participation fees for this information… Well, “how to take care of the threads” is no secret… it is so-called “wisdom”. So far, as I offer the information here and there, we have not received a negative review regarding this issue. I sincerely hope that we can choose/support a store, a teacher, and a mindset to appreciate the importance of “wisdom” not only in Sashiko but in many other fields. Our Threads are available via @UpcycleStitches

把握する限り英語圏のお話なのですが、時々「刺し子糸は絡まってしまって使えない！」とか「扱いが難しすぎる最低の糸」という悲しいレビューと出会います。私達が販売している糸には苦情等のレビューは無いのですが、基本的に刺し子糸は（というか糸は）扱い方を知らないとすぐに絡まってしまいます。刺し子糸はそれが顕著です。悲しいなと思うのは、これは「知らない」から起こることで、知っていればそんなことにはなりません。それが資本主義（価格重視競争）の悲しいところです。販売店は売れれば良いわけで、刺し子糸の扱い方とかはあまり説明していないようです。説明しないどころか、知らない可能性もあるわけで。「情報はお金をとるべき」というご意見もあるとは思う＆今日のビデオにお金を取っている人もいるみたいですが、流石にこれは刺し子の技術というよりは「智慧」の部類に入ると思うので、刺し子糸を大切に思う一人として、糸への愛情の込め方の第一歩はお伝えして行かなきゃと思うのです。販売している道具材料作品に込められている物語をしっかりと伝えられる売り手が増えることを祈るばかりです。
