This is a Sashiko kit made with fine linen woven in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, which has a great reputation for its quality as Enshu textiles. Even beginners can easily enjoy Sashiko by simply stitching on the printed lines of the linen cloth.
The stitch patterns are printed on the linen cloth with special ink that disappears with water. The Japanese traditional pattern"Shippo Tsunagi" is arranged and used for the design on the linen cloth. The overlapping circles symbolize "happiness," "harmony," and "connections." The design is believed to bring good luck.
In order to enhance the texture of the natural linen, the Sashiko thread is also carefully selected. Sashiko thread is made of cotton dyed with natural plants. Kit includes a handmade tassel with tiny handmade Temari ball charm.
