COSMO Hidamari Sashiko Thread - Shaved Ice Orange Blue (#102)

I used the Shaved Ice Orange Blue colorway on a pink sakura flower sampler. It's a subtle beauty. I love this thread because of it's thickness, not too thick, not too thin. It pulls easily through fabric. I also like that it's on a spool so I can adjust the length of thread to suit. Love the speckles!

This thread is so beautiful! I do a lot of hand quilting and hand piecing, and my usual choice in pearl size 8. I still like that best because it's mercerized, BUT, for a thread this beautiful, I feel fully satisfied. (It's much better for my work than embroidery floss, which creates many frustrations in my work...) This particular color-way is so subtle and gorgeous! I used a lot of the red, white, and blue confetti color and some of this one to piece a quilt, and now I'm using the cookies and cream color to quilt it. ***I may be a somewhat unusual quilter in that I often like to quilt with my wingspan, about 5.5' of thread at a time. I can get away with that using a French brand of pearl, but not with other brands. THIS THREAD stayed strong and worked well for the full 5 feet!!!! 💘💘💘
