Olympus - Plum Blossom and Nightingale Cotton Sashiko Sampler Cloth - White

This is a pre-printed piece of white 100% cotton fabric with a washout pattern of plum blossoms (ume) and nightingales sitting in a tree with plum blossoms. It's very handy for learning sashiko stitching.

Instructions are in Japanese but easy to follow. You can complete this cloth sampler with one skein of sashiko thread, but may choose to use more than one color for added contrast.

The fabric measures 12" x 12" (31 cm x 31 cm) folded in half and is printed with dye that will wash out.

This type of cloth is called a "fukin" (pronounced foo-keen), or little hand towel.

Sampler is FABRIC ONLY. Sashiko needles, thread and thimbles available separately in our shop.
