Daruma Sashiko Multi-Color Kasuri Thread Cards by DARUMA
If you've ever wanted your sashiko to do something a little unexpected, kasuri thread is your answer. These 100% cotton thread cards from DARUMA use a traditional kasuri (ikat) dyeing technique that creates dots and intervals of color along the thread — so even a simple running stitch becomes visually interesting.
Available in three kasuri styles, each inspired by Japanese summer festivals:
-
2-Color Kasuri (301, 302, 303) — Bright pops of color that add punch to any pattern, even the most repetitive ones
-
3-Color Kasuri (401, 402, 403) — Dyed at 5–7 cm intervals for a balanced, harmonious look; includes white so colors read clearly on colored fabric
-
8-Color Kasuri (501, 502) — Eight colors on one card; every straight line of stitching becomes a little celebration
Thread is wound on a card for easy cutting and tidy storage — no winding, no tangles.
