Botanical Dye Sashiko Threads

Rustic bobbins of sashiko thread, botanically dyed-by-hand to reveal a unique range of gentle, natural colours.

Daruma Yokota thin sashiko thread, made in Japan, 20 metres in length, presented on an old-school wooden dolly peg.

Locally dyed-by-hand - a slow, multi-step process of preparing the fibres and extracting plant-based dyes, using foraged plants and extracts. 

Only one skein dyed at a time, so only two bobbins per colour available - perfect for your next small-scale bespoke slow stitch project.

Each bobbin is unique, as no two dye pots are the same, variegations in colour are part of their natural charm. 

Sold individually, choose from a range of colours, titled by the plant material used to create them.

Natural colours evolve over time, as all things in nature do. Exposure to sun hastens the process. 

We do our best to represent colours accurately, please allow for variations with screens and monitors.
