I purchased these for my first attempt at hitomezashi. They worked very well and are especially easy to work with.

perfectly coordinated
I'll be honest, sometimes I just love it when all the work is done for me. Case in point, this fabulous set of threads already put together and perfect for the Four Seasons sashiko sampler I bought though the colors are so lovely together I can see this set being used in plenty of other sashiko projects. Olympus threads are great to work with and give a nice, well-defined line in my stitching projects. Couldn't be happier with this set!
