Keiko in @Sashi.Co has been “practicing” in dyeing Sashiko thread with Natural Dyes for more than 10 years. It is my sincere pleasure to offer her threads in our webstore. She decided to have a minor update for her Natural Dye thread in 2020, and it is about time to…

Many think that “It is because of their expertise & experience”. It is true that the practice makes it better, and learning the “core” of…

Kakishibu – Persimmon Tannin Dye – is one of our favorite Natural Dye. The strong Gold (and earth) Color is created by the Natural Persimmon, UV light (Sun Light), an artisan’s hands. Fruit (Vegetable), Sun, and people. It is the best combination that I can ask for the natural thread….

We hand-dye the thread. As much as we would like to maintain the stability in colors, it is impossible to create the “exact” same color. When we have the color which is too different from numbering, we put them asides. Then, when we have time, we make a small thread…

Oops… I just realize that I have not done any advertising campaign (like adding new items online and sending newsletters) for almost 3 months… by focusing on sharing our insights. It is true that sharing the wisdom is our primary goal. However, I would like to make our activities “feasible…

We never waste the thread even when we end up with having “non-commercializable color”. We are preparing to provide more of those “No-numbered (One-of-a-Kind)” Sashiko thread available for sale. They could be like these cute thread bobbins. ☆ It is significant to use the good quality thread for Sashiko. Some…
