Arimatsu, Japan

Cotton Shibori Thread Skein - Stitching

$10.00

Imported from Japan, this 100% cotton thread is the same kind used by professional shibori artisans in Arimatsu. It has the right amount of twist to allow for some give, enabling tight compression of stitched lines. Use for all types of stitched patterns including mokume (wood grain), ori-nui, maki-nui, hishaki-nui, shippō-tsunagi (linked circles), and outlines for bōshi (capped) and makiage (crisscross binding).
