Kuguri-Sashi Sashiko Embroidery Sampler - Asagao (H2046)

Sashiko means "little stabs" and is a Japanese style of hand embroidery. Beautifully intricate patterns are created with a simple running stitch using thick cotton Sashiko thread. Sashiko is great for beginning and advanced stitchers alike. Easy to learn and relaxing to do!

Kuguri-Sashi is a style of Sashiko that combines Hitomesashi (one stitch style) with Weaving. To complete this sampler you must complete 2 steps. In step one, you stitch the base stitches that come pre-printed on the sampler. In Step Two, you weave your Sashiko thread through the stitches from Step 1 to complete the design. General Kuguri-Sashi instructions are available in English and detailed instructions with lots of clear diagrams are included in Japanese.

A magical stitching experience

Stitching this piece felt magical. The stitches are clearly marked (and wash away) You simply follow along and —voila!— you have a stunning piece of woven Sashiko. I look forward to doing another soon.

Wonderful and fun kit

This is a nice and easy kit. I was able to complete the cloth in less than a week while watching television in the evenings after work. The first phase is to stitch the cloth and the second phase is for the weaving. I used google translate to help translate the instructions, but honestly, I didn't think it was necessary. It's pretty self-explanatory if you've done sashiko before.
