This beginner-friendly kit includes all the necessary materials to create your own unique sashiko-designed kitchen cloth. The design is printed with water-soluble ink, so it washes out once you finished stitching. 

Sashiko is a traditional Japanese embroidery technique that uses small, uniform running stitches (known as "little stabs") to create geometric patterns and designs on fabric. It was originally used for mending and reinforcing clothes but has become a very popular art today.

Kit contents:

• 100% cotton sashiko cloth

• 2x sashiko thread, 100% cotton (light purple and brown)

• Sashiko needle

• Japanese instructions to guide you through each step*

Dimensions: 11.8" x 13.38" (30 cm x 34 cm)

Made in Japan

*Since it only has Japanese instructions, my trick is to simply read the instructions using Google Translate on my phone. It uses your camera to view the instructions and magically shows it on your screen in English - or whatever other language you prefer!
