HM-58 Circle Sampler
A sampler of circular motifs, each one a different traditional pattern. Think of it as a stitch library you can hang. Great for learning multiple designs in one project, or for using up leftover Sashiko thread in a dozen colors.

Sashiko is slow stitching at its best. One running stitch, repeated, until a piece of plain cotton turns into something you want on a wall.

The design comes pre-printed in a wash-out blue marking, so there's no transferring, no tracing, no stencil work. Stitch the lines. Rinse the lines away. Done.

At 24.5" wide by 44" long, this finishes as a wall hanging, table runner, or panel for a larger project. 100% cotton, so it takes a needle beautifully and softens with every wash.

Designed by HM Textiles in Australia. Made in Japan. Imported by Orimono Imports.

How to stitch it

  1. Pre-wash only if you plan to wash the finished piece. Cold water, no soap, air dry.
  2. Stitch the printed lines with Sashiko thread and a Sashiko needle. Long running stitches, even spacing, no knots on the front.
  3. Work in one direction and finish full lines before crossing to a new section.
  4. When you're done, soak in cold water until the blue markings disappear. Don't press or heat the fabric before the markings are out — heat can set them.
  5. Air dry flat, press from the back, hang.
