Sashiko is the traditional Japanese technique of needlework quilting that uses a simple running stitch to create beautifully decorative patterns ideal for patchwork, quilting and embroidery. Sashiko (pronounced shash-ko) means 'stab stitch' and refers to the small running stitch that is worked to build up distinctive decorative patterns.

This fabric provides the perfect canvas for your embroidery work. Stretching out to 1 x 1.42m, it is a dark navy colour that can be used with white embroidery thread for traditional Sashiko.
