The Japanese embroidery technique sashiko has a long tradition. Originally, it was used to repair clothing and make it more durable. Nowadays, it has become a global trend.

Straight stitches, elegant patterns and sophisticated designs: Sashiko is characterised by patterns full of meaning and a meditative working process. Today, sashiko is used both to repair clothing and for a wide variety of embroidery projects. This Japanese embroidery technique uses simple running stitches to create geometric patterns.

Sashiko thread & needles

We stock high-quality thread and needles from Japanese manufacturer Daruma Thread. Sashiko thread is particularly robust and tear-resistant. It glides smoothly through the fabric and is processed in its entirety. Sashiko needles are very sharp and sturdy. They are made from special steel and, thanks to their length, are perfect for geometric patterns.
